" ... This is my second TCL Roku TV and I love it. ... The Roku TV operating system is very easy to use, and it manages all TV settings and smart TV functions. ... You can add and remove channels on the home page, and you can customize what happens when the TV turns on. ... I set it to start on cable TV so it works just like a regular TV until I want to use the smart tv apps. ... Netflix works great on it. ... I was surprised to see I could cast to it from my android tablet right away. ... So I was able to push a youtube video to the TV instantly from my Android tablet. ... "
