Siri does not have visibility to personal media...

I have thousands of media titles in my library and this new "fantastic Siri search" on the 4th gen box doesn't to the basics? and no Bluetooth keyboard support?

Very disappointing Apple, I may send it back....

The "Basics" are to support search within the iTunes Store catalog and select 3rd party applications which are written to be compliant with Siri's search requirements. More 3rd party apps will be added over time as developers update their applications and services to allow for it.

As far as your personal content in iTunes how can Apple possibly know where this content came from or how you have it tagged and if you've followed standards or not. That is the issue with personal media files in iTunes.

Where it came from? Really? All it needs is to do is look for the "title" locally first after all it is already on my network. If I don't have the title, then it could look to see where I can buy it. It needs some kind of local search capability! And BT keyboard support,like the third gen has.
