I'm not a big streaming fan. Bought the Roku Express as it was cheap and a good way to test. It works well, but one still has to hunt a lot for shows. Parental controls are very inadequate, so this will not be moved to our living room TV where children have access to it. I do like the abilitity to use my phone as a remote including sound through my phone - nice for watching TV quietly while wife sleeps.

I like these Kasa Smart Wi-Fi plugs. We have the 2-outlet, the mini & regular single outlet. They're easy to setup. I mostly use the Kasa phone app and automatic cycles, but can also control with out Alexa Dot.
The app could be better. It's difficult to set up a multi-function action, such as Leaving: turn lights to away setting AND turn on cameras.

The Kasa Spot works well for an inexpensive camera. It was easy to setup. However, without paying $4/mo+ after trial period, it will not retain any history.

I love my 2-yr old Moto E4 16GB, but was running out of room for apps. Figured it was time for an upgrade, so snatched this brand new Moto E 32GB upon release. (FYI when looking for accessories, it's known as Moto E (2020 / E7).)
I'm disappointed.
1) I do NOT like the fingerprint reader being on the back - it's not natural for me. I know they're probably following Apple, etc, but I don't like it. If the phone is laying on table and goes to sleep, I have to pick it up to touch the fingerprint reader. The Moto E4's is on the front - very natural for me.
2) I cannot figure out an easy silence all / back to normal. For my Moto E4, it wasn't too bad. Down volume, open all sounds, tap on each icon and they would mute; vibrate still on. Done - repeat and sounds would go back to prior levels. I can find similar mute in Android 10, but there is no back to prior levels. Also, ring volume seems to have a mind of it's own, often jumping louder. Again, probably more of an Android 10 issues than unique to this phone.
Camera is also more complicated.
Otherwise, it works well. Not a huge step up from Moto E4, but after 5 weeks, I'm still not totally comfortable with it.

Worked good, but I wish they were a little longer. I'm using them outdoors (under the house) with two connectors that have rubber gaskets on them, which push together. Had a hard time getting the second one started on the threads.

Interesting testing out the Rocketfish RF-ANT50UD Amplified Outdoor TV Antenna. I started with it inside by a window connected to our kitchen TV without the amplifier. It pulled in only 4 channels vs 10-15 with our indoor antenna. Next I slid it out the window and tied it to our gazebo frame: same 4 channels. Next set it on top of the roof: same 4 channels. Then I plugged in the amplifier and it grabbed 60 channels less about 10 that were not strong enough. Was it just the amplifier? I hooked the amplifier up to our indoor antenna and it did not help, but it sure helps the outdoor one.
So now that I know it will help, I tried it placed on the roof on the other end of the house, this time plugged (with amplifier) into our house cable wiring. Only 40 channels this time. I don't know if it's the location (now behind a tree) or pushing the signal through two splitters and 4-5 coax lines, most 10-15+ years old. I suspect the wiring is the problem. Anyway, the stations it does get include all our local stations that we wanted and couldn't get well with 3 different powered and unpowered indoor antennas.
I deducted a star because it's only pulling in 30-40 mile or less range not the higher 40-60 advertised, however, that may be entirely our location. All were low on the roof, not the peak, and final location is about three feet up on a side eaves behind a tree. Works well enough for us. The more distant stations tend to be a repeat of the locals (a second NBC, etc.).

The Roku Exprss Streaming Media Player is fast and easy to use, as far as streaming players go. I'm a bit disappointed in that there are not as many free shows as I expected and most do not have proper parental controls or even ratings. For example, Pluto has LOTs of free shows, but most don't show the ratings and they have lots of R-rated, some strong Rs, but neither the Pluto, the Roko Express, nor our TV's parental controls will block them. I can not load the Pluto app and require a PIN to load any new apps, but that severely limits the free shows. This unit will not be put on living room TV where kids have access to it. Also, couldn't find any local live TV that didn't require a subscription, so can't watch Wheel of Fortune on it.
Guess I will do an outdoor OTA antenna for our local programming.

does the remote that comes with tv have a sleep timer
Yes. It has a sleep timer. Wall mounted ours in the bedroom and often use the sleep timer. I like that it also does the CEC link to our Bluray player and so will shut that off at the same time.

Can I buy this online, have it delivered to my house and have my old tv taken away?
I bought it online, but it was delivered UPS. I don't think they will take the old TV unless perhaps if you also purchase installation.
