Enjoyed using this service when Spectrum lost Disney and ESPN channels earlier this fall. I like that there are dedicated 4K streams for some sporting events (mostly on FOX). My biggest gripe is lack of Turner content (CNN, TNT and TBS) which was a deal breaker at the moment for me.

Replace or upgrade your current Roku remote with Roku Voice Remote Pro. Our best remote is conveniently rechargeable, so you can save money on batteries and help keep them out of landfills. Never misplace your remote again with the lost remote finder. Plus, enjoy private listening with connected headphones (sold separately) and set personal shortcuts for one-touch control. Say “Hey Roku” to give hands-free voice commands and play entertainment, control your streaming, turn your TV on, and more without having to reach for the remote. You even have the choice between hands-free and push-to-talk voice controls—it’s as easy as flipping a switch. Roku Voice Remote Pro is compatible with all Roku TV™ brands, Roku audio devices, and most recent Roku players—some older models may not be supported.

I bought this TV to replace a 2016 Insignia Roku TV which had weak wifi and was very slow. I had been using a Google Chromecast so setting this TV up many of the apps and configurations were ported over without a fuss. The speakers are weak in sound (no bass), so I recommend a sound bar connected via optical cable (but I may switch to ARC soon). I do wish this unit had a third HDMI input and came with an AV RCA adapter (for legacy DVD or VCR). My only other complaint is that my Spectrum RC122 remote doesn't work on this unit (however I just tried the XUMO stream box and that remote controls the TV just fine). Short of 4K having HDR on this TV is nice. Both NetFlix and Prime play content in HDR just fine on this TV.

Polished, professional Full HD video calls. The C920S HD Webcam delivers remarkably crisp, clear and detailed images in vibrant colors. HD autofocus and light correction adjust to provide consistently high definition, and the dual mics on either side of the lens capture natural sound. The privacy shutter puts you in control of what you show.
 
Great webcam at a great price

Powerful. Easy to use. Versatile. The new iPad has a beautiful 10.2-inch Retina display, powerful A13 Bionic chip, an Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage, and works with Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard.¹ iPad lets you do more, more easily. All for an incredible value.
 
Classic iPad design still works well...

I brought this as an early Christmas gift for my daughter in grad school and needed a tablet. It does all of the basic tasks very well and is snappy. Yes, it still has the old-school button but in some ways, it's still easy and simple to use. There is no need to break the bank if you want a tablet for reading books, checking emails and playing a few games along with streaming videos. This iPad is all that you ever need.

I am having trouble getting my Spectrum DVR\cable remote to work on this TV. I've tried everything. Any advice?

Try using the SEIKI codes or Westinghouse codes. I think I just my remote scan thru to find the right codes.

One thing I'm not able to do is change the input (video source) with the Spectrum remote which I think is a shortcoming in the TV and not the remote.
