If your OTA TV sites are not all in the same direction, avoid this set. It has no manual tuning mode, no add-channel mode, and entering an RF channel won't work. Scanning is the only way to acuire channels.

The sound on some of these lower-end sets is pathetic! The speakers are really tiny. My brother had one of those sets and I hooked up one of those computer sound systems, small left and right speakers and a larger sub-woofer. It sounded a lot better!

A smart TV I can deal with

You could learn every function before you finished 2 beers.
Software was thought out so even a 95 year old could run it.
