Experienced difficulties on installing as instructions not specific enough. Nowhere mentioned in instructions or install that all previous editions/versions should be deleted. You would have thought that when initial start of install they would auto uninstall other Office products. Took four days to get installed with help from a techie.

Meet the Ninja Double Oven, the countertop oven that unlocks the power of two ovens in the counter space of one. Only Ninja has the FlexDoor that creates 2 separate ovens so you can cook 2 meals, 2 ways at different temperatures and cooking times. Use just the Top Rapid Oven for quick snacks, sides, and sheet pan meals—or the Bottom Convection & Air Fry Oven for larger roasts, bakes, or air frying up to 6 lbs of wings. You can also sync both independent ovens to cook a full course meal that finishes cooking at the same time with Smart Finish technology. While your meal cooks, FlavorSeal technology prevents flavor crossover between ovens. The Smart Cook System precisely monitors temperatures with the leave-in thermometer, so you don't have to. Two oven cavities in one eliminate back-to-back cooking for 65% faster meal-making than your traditional oven so you can put your wall oven out of business. Plus, this countertop dual oven features 12 cooking functions for the ultimate versatility.
 

Can I place a tv dinner in the bottom oven?

not unless you want it to catch fire. send an email to Ninja for specific cooking instructions.

Roku Select Series 4K TVs are thoughtfully designed to upgrade your entertainment at an incredible value. Enjoy your streaming favorites in brilliant 4K HDR picture that’s optimized for your room lighting with automatic brightness. Catch every word with built-in sound features like auto speech clarity and night mode or enjoy private listening with headphones. Switch to your inputs and watch free live TV right from the home screen, or use the voice remote to find movies, shows, or songs across thousands of channels. And even your deepest couch cushions are no match for the lost remote finder. A smart TV made by Roku? Now that makes sense.
 

Can this be used as a 'dumb' TV (antenna and plugged-in devices only, no streaming services) in a location without internet access, or is there mandatory registration / internet access during setup that would prevent it operating as a 'dumb' TV?

This would be better answered by a Roku or BB rep.

sorry
