I'm not meaning short term however looking longer term it offers a much more easy and intuitive way of viewing extra content , social feeds , replays etc without compromising your TV viewing on the main screen. Try googling Smart glass , Microsoft and Xbox are also getting in on the act , VM are to release the excellent TIVO iPad app and Sky have teamed up with Zeebox , even the BBC were looking into it.

I agree the red button has certain uses , match choice being one however my problem is when going from a HD broadcast and pressing red you have a delay for everything to load , then you switch to say driver cam and are presented with a poor quality SD feed , that's why I believe the companion devices are better as it allows you to keep the main HD broadcast on your TV without waiting then switching to SD.
