Its the "only" a week here and week there wages that have screwed many a family.
Average pay here for a line worker in the RV Industry is $1200, after taxes, so yes $800 is less than a weeks wages for folks here.
Wonder how that industry is doing these days?? And in the future.
Very few jobs in the US pay that much. And with the REAL unemployment well above 10-15% spending $800 on TV a YEAR (or more) is not a great move IMB.
But each their own.

Remote was a poorly designed unit. Did not like the interface either.
Wonder what kind of ROKU you got with a $98 dollar price tag, granted mine was free thru Dish Network but the SMRP is/was $49.99. Something seems amiss.
Poorly designed remote???? Does what its supposed to do, not much more to ask of it.
Clink on this link. Look at the XS model. $99.99 there. I got it for $98.
JMO on the remote. Its design helped on my decision on returning it.
Take care, bill
