[ale] [OT] TVs

[chip]

I have 3 of the Vizio TVs with Apps.  It works mostly pretty well.  To
this day I've been unable to get Pandora to work on any of them, wired
or wireless.  The picture quality is actually pretty good.  Another
benefit is the TV's will check from time to time for firmware updates.
 Netflix and Amazon video services have worked well for me.
