A:AnswerDon't understand. You select Amazon Prime app on the home screen and the remote works like any other remote. No difference. Of course you have to be a paying Prime member with an up to date paid account.
A:AnswerYes it picks up free channels just fine. How many channels depends on which type of antenna you use, and where you place the antenna. I had one of the cheap, flat antennas laying around that I tried. Worked fine. Got all my local CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, PBS just fine. All antennas nowadays sold are HD.
A:AnswerAre you sure it is connected to your network? Do all the streaming channels work? On the initial connection, it should ask you to enter your wifi password( if you use one). If it is connected and the channels work, it may be up to date and no new update is available. If not, unplug it and let it sit for a few minutes and start over with Settings>>>Network>>>Set up connection.
A:AnswerAbsolutely. That is what i use this set for mainly. Pandora, IHeart, Amazon Music are my favorites. I use it more like a monitor to run the surround system in my home office. Not really for video. Works great.
A:AnswerAbsolutely. That is the main reason I bought this tv. I have it hooked up to my Yamaha 5.1 surround receiver in my home office. More like a monitor use for me. No movies really. I use an optical (Toslink) cable between the two for sound. An HDMI cable also lets me use the Yamaha on screen menus. Works great streaming Pandora, IHeart, Amazon Music with the built in wifi. I honestly have never even tried to listen to the built in speakers. I don't think they would be very good at this price point.
A:AnswerIt has built in speakers, although I have never really used them. I have it hooked up to my Yamaha 5.1 receiver using an optical cable for sound. I use it more as a monitor in my home office to stream music with over wifi. An HDMI cable between the two lets me use the Yamaha on screen menus as well. Perfect for my use.
A:AnswerDepends on what you want to do. If you screw your cable tv or antenna cable on, then no, you do not need an hdmi cable. If you want to hook up a stereo or dvd player, then yes.
A:AnswerYes you can. I just checked. I don't need it though, cut cable long time ago. In order to work, you need to have a Spectrum account. You use your Spectrum username and password to access the app.
