The Fire TV worked great for me. Easy to set up easy to use. I was able to upgrade to higher def Netflix with it. The functions are not different than the the Fire stick so there wasn't and of the usual upgrade transition pain.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Let me start with the bad. The initial set up "script" was very nearly stroke inducing. At some point as I was hitting buttons like a pigeon trying to get a food pellet I set off this voice assist thing that I could not stop that described everything the remote mouse pointer went over. The remote does not have buttons with the standard icons or labels like you know Menu or back and this remote has a lot of functions. I do not know who designed it but I hope they die a slow painful death. Lastly, the farthest screw holes to attach the mount are only about 10 inches from the bottom of the TV. So now I have roughly 10 inches of mount bar hanging out from the bottom of my TV and a sinking feeling the TV will eventually come tumbling off the wall.
The layout of the HDMI connections was also not well through out at all. There are two HDMI connections on the side making them easy to get to easy to use. The other two are right in the middle of the back of the TV. Which meant for me it was a three person jog to use them. Two people to pull the TV off the wall and hold it while a third person plugs in the HDMI devices ... again slow painful death. By the time I got the TV on the wall and set up I was very close to boxing the TV back up going back to the store with it I was so angry and frustrated with the User Interface and the design.
The good. Once you finally master the remote it has a whole lot of functionality that does come in handy. This is a proper smart TV so you can put Netflix and Amazon Prime and other apps right on the TV with is nice. Having four HDMI connections is a nice upgrade for me. I have an Xbox, a Fire Stick, a DVD Player, and the Cable Box to hook up to the TV so it is nice to be able to have them all connected at the same time.
Lastly the thing that did keep me from boxing the TV up and taking it back. It does have a very nice picture.

Good Enough As A Clock

I have not been very happy with this as an alarm clock. First of all programing the alarm is not at all intuitive and the instructions are lacking. Please note I have over 25 years of IT experience. It took me a good while just to figure out how to set the alarm time and the alarm itself. Even after using this clock for several months I am still not sure on how to set it.
Second issue is the buttons are flush with the clock. That means when you want to hit the snooze bar it is hard to find it in the dark half asleep. Which would be basically the only time you are going to be hitting the snooze.

I am thinking about buying a smart TV. Do I have to have Wi-Fi in my home in order for that TV to work?

Depending on the TV you may be able to connect directly via USB or HDMI cables instead of WiFi to take advantage of the Smart TV functionality.

I assume that is what you meant by the TV working.
