"Siri, play Game of Thrones."
This could soon be a reality, according to recent reports that suggest Apple may be bringing its digital assistant to the Apple TV.
A line of code found in Apple's iOS 7.1 software development kit indicates Apple may have plans to add Siri functionality to its set-top box.

The code, which was first reported by 9to5Mac includes references to an "assistant," Apple's code name for Siri, according to 9to5, under features listed for the Apple TV.
Screen caps of the code, which is reportedly in files for both iOS 7.1 and 7.1.1, list 'assistant' as one of the properties that will be included in device family "3," which is Apple's designation for the Apple TV line.
It's not yet clear what Siri integration in Apple TV might look like or how exactly it would work, though voice controls would likely be integrated into the device's remote.
Rumors a refreshed Apple TV is in the works have been circulating for some time now. Apple CEO Tim Cook further fueled speculation earlier this year when he announced the company was refocusing the Apple TV by giving the product line its own section on Apple's website. Previously, the Apple TV was listed as a "hobby."
Adding Siri functionality may also signal attempts by Apple to make its set-top box more competitive with Amazon's recently-announced Fire TV, which already includes voice commands.
