Unfortunately the Sony - 43" Class BRAVIA 3 does not have the ATSC 3.0 tuner for Next Gen TV, however we do have some other models you can check like the Bravia 7, Bravia 8 and Bravia 9 that do include the special tuner for Next Gen Television. We hope this helps you find the best option for you, regards. - Dominick

A:AnswerHi there,
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the K43S30 (BRAVIA 3) does not have a dedicated sleep timer button on the remote. You will need to go through the menu to set the sleep timer. To do this, simply press the quick settings button, which is represented by a wrench icon, on the remote control. This will bring up the quick settings menu where you can find various options. From there, you will need to select the sleep timer option. Once you’ve done that, you can set your desired time for the TV to turn off automatically.
Smart TV for everything you watch. The BRAVIA 3 Smart TV is exceptionally easy to use with a variety of all-in-one smart features for stress-free viewing. With a large screen, detailed pictures full of color and dynamic sound, everything you love feels so much more exciting.
I hope this helps!
Best regards,
Romeo

A:AnswerHey Danny, thanks for your question!
About the compatibility with third party remotes, it will depend on the remote control manufacturer, it may have some basic functions like change the volume, turn on/off and/or change channels, but specific features like voice control, quick settings, there is a big change that you won't be able to use them. You may get in contact with your provider to check further details about the compatibility.
If you prefer to use the Sony remote to control with your TV Cable Box, you might check the link below:
