    I bought one a year or so back, rather than bother with the expense of getting a smart tv or taking a monthly subscription via Sky etc. Even I found it easy to instal, pretty much plug and play. No doubt if you Google, you’ll get a full list of all the available channels. You can add others by monthly sub.

    They go on offer all the time. Wait for a half price deal. Well worth it

    We don’t have an Alexa so bought one without the voice activation. Means I have to press buttons on the remote, not too tiresome and provides exercise for a thumb 😏

    I bought a Fire TV stick in 2018. It still works OK but is slow in finding and starting content. Lip sync can sometimes be out too. I just bought a new one (£59.99). It is much faster and better in all aspects. Pleased that I got it.
    Error! - Keyboard not attached. Press any key to continue.

    Lip sync is adjustable but always seems a more obscure and complicated process than it should be!

    I have one on each of my TVs and find them excellent quality and value when bought at half price (which can be done several times a year).

    ITX X won't play live TV on any LG TVs - go figure
    It will play on the firestick
