I've been using an Echo Show 8 for over 2 years and it's cracking, lovely sound on it, better speakers on it than my not cheap Samsung tv's so I connect the TV up to it via bluetooth to spit out the audio via that. Never had an issue with usability or reliability. Can bring up iplayer, YouTube, netflix, prime video and other ways of watching iptv on it so it doubles up as a little TV on my desk when I work from home.
