My daughter and son-in-law got my new tv hooked up and set up. I have apps for PlutoTV, Netflix, Roku (and the Roku stick) , Amazon Fire,and a bunch of other sources for television and movies. The tv came with Alexa. I can say a title, or an actor, or shop. The connection is faster. I can also type in or say internet addresses, so I cane use the livenewsmag.com link and documentaryheaven.com
for example. Bill and Julie played around with the various apps and before we knew it, 2 hours had passed. It is so easy to get where you're going. Just wanted to say we are having a terrific result. I have more tv than I ever wanted, which will be good for company 
I am still planning to stop watching tv as I did. But it is nice to know I have options if I have company.
I really, really appreciate all of the good advice and encouragement to take this step. Some of the things I was worried about didn't even happen. I learned a lot about options that I wouldn't have known about if those of you who offered information hadn't taken the time. Many thanks! Happy weekend
