I picked up the Home to try it out for home automation features. It would have required a lot of adjustments to support my large number of WeMo items. That being said. The voice was the most "human" that I have heard so far. It has a great amount of information for asking it questions.

Decent trackball.
Comfortable ergonomic fit. No hand cramps when using it.
The only issue I had was that the buttons aren't an exact location fit for my size hand.

Batteries are decent quality… Packaging is HORRIBLE!
It is nearly impossible to get these batteries out of the plastic casing. It required a good pair of scissors and a lot of elbow grease.

I got everything setup in about an hour.
I had to add the power switcher to my wiring in the furnace (included with the Ecobee), to get everything running properly with the wire design in my home.
Once you get that setup, the next step is swapping out the old with the new. Make sure you use the provided flags to mark the wires as you remove them form the old thermostat. Then you just mount the back panel and connect the wires to the correct terminals.Then mount the Ecobee to the back panel on your wall. The Ecobee starts up and asks questions about the setup of your HVAC system. It is just a few settings to adjust and you are ready to go.
Takes a little time for the software to get ready to go once you set the parameters.
Then you just add the Sensor to the room you are in most often and everything is ready.
Now comes the fun stuff…
Crazy easy to setup and use the Ecobee app on the iPhone. You can control everything from anywhere with your mobile device. (props for whomever decided to make a vacation feature to control light use when you are out of town).
If you have an Amazon Echo, you are in luck! You can also adjust your HVAC by speaking the commands out loud!
All in all I am very happy with the ease of installation and the features and benefits of this thermostat.

This receiver is a decent buy, at the price. Everything about it is solid. Except for one thing.
The system does not auto switch to the type of audio signal that is being received. When I am playing a movie that is Dolby Digital 5.1 and the sound was set to Dolby pro Logic, it will not automatically switch over to the proper setting.
A couple button presses and all is good, but my other Pioneer elite automatically changes depending on received audio source.

Will the linksy range extender work from inside the home to a television that located in a outside location

Depends on the distance from the extender to the device and how much interference it will experience (walls, powered devices (TVs, Microwaves, AC unit, etc etc))
