If you have unlimited wi-fi, like a lot of people have now, it's not a problem. The benefits of this, is that you can use it from anywhere in your home, as remote controls generally do not work through walls etc. You get the added extra of viewing your planner etc on your device, rather than just on the TV. Handy too if you misplace your remote or it breaks down. It's also great for winding other people up watching TV when they don't know you have it.
