Voice Channel Control Issues

I think the XBOX One voice control of the system is generally excellent, far better than my Sammy Smart TV, but I have 2 issues (at least) with it.

When will we get the ability to change channel by number? "XBOX, Watch Channel 104" for example. And

How can we get voice access to ALL the channels by name? Seems XBOX remembers only a set number (25??). And when you want to go to a channel other than one it 'knows' by voice, how do you do that so as to add it to the list of remembered channels??

Thanks!

Cable Remote & Voice Command will stop working

I have Comcast XFinity and have been able to use its remote as well as voice controls through xbox one to control and change the channels. There have been a couple times so far that I have been unable to use the remote or voice commands to change the channel.
Essentially its stuck on one channel and nothing works to change it.

 

Sky TV And Freeview

Can I connect a freeview HD box and control it via the HDMI passthrough?

Can I connect an aerial to the TV tuner to receive freeview channels and control them with my voice?

Can I connect a satellite/coax cable to the TV tuner to receive Sky channels and control them with my voice? Or can I only connect a box via HDMI?

 

No one? I chatted with a support person this morning and they said this coluld already be done. I tried every possible way to change to a channel by number, but it wouldn't work. Seems elementary that you could do this!

 

Followed up with another support person who confirmed my results that indeed you cannot change channels by number using your voice. I went to xbox.uservoice.com and found that over 900 people also had this desire. Hopefully it will be in the next update
