Is this unit ready to go out of the box or do you have to add any "APPs" to it for viewing say football games?

The box I purchased was ready to go but I did experience another box that wasn't. It was very difficult to add apps because of the lack of information. I don't know if it was because of a different seller of the product.

No it is not ready out the you will have to add all the apps your self and the booklet that came with it tells you nothing when I say nothing I mean nothing I am return my box I was not happy with it at all

It is ready to go out of the box. It is easy to add apps from the app store. I have not used it to look for football games.

Mostly ready to go, it take a little while to figure out where everything is because of the lack of organization, and constant bugs.

I am still learning and I did not set mine up for that but you can view these in a number of ways with lots of different software.I am using ISPY freeware and you can specify a youtube channel I think from there. also works with VLC media player. just set up the ip and pull it up.also Airvision comes with it for monitoring as well.

It's ready to go right out of the box. It uses passive 3d glasses so you can use the pairs from movie theaters, but the two that comes with the monitor work better. I heard you get better results with hdmi. The box comes with everything you need.

Yes, it is. And the set up couldn't be easier. The tv walks you through the steps after it does a software update.

It requires a cable/satellite box for viewing over the air content. There is no built in tuner.

Yes it is very easy, I purchased this for that reason. I move the TV from inside to outside when camping or wanting to watch sports outside. Weel made and worth the investment.

I have not had the Geniego for football yet, but my understanding is as long as the game you wish to watch is being recorded on your DVR you will be able to watch that game (a little delayed) but last year Sunday ticket had a mobile app that let you watch any game from your tablet including red zone as long as you are not at a NFL stadium or parking lot (which I don't understand)

It's not a smart tv . So no apps . You can buy a roku stick for approx 50 bucks and you have a lot of apps .

Hello, this is the prefect unit for you because it does not have onstar function so you wont need it anyways. It is direct plug and play installation.

I bought the Football and Baseball devices for my parents. The company discontinued broadcasting the Baseball scores, so the thing became a paperweight. Not sure about football. My bet is that the company did not sell enough of these cool devices to make business sense. Good luck.

Depends what you want, if you want to view cable from your cable box you will need to run a coax cable to the unit. If you want to view a dvd you must purchase a dvd player and an HDMI cable to view DVD's on the 15 inch monitor. It does come with wireless internet capabilities, so if you have a router you can have your workouts e-mailed to you. That's Cool. We purchased this machine on sale, for the money it's a great deal. I had no problem during assembly, but some portion does take two people. I was a little scared because of some of the reviews, but i guess like anything there are lemons. I did not get the IFIT just yet, you need to play with all of the features before you spend your money on that. I recommend using the programs installed first, then get the IFIT, just a recommendation. Good Luck

Thanks for your comment it has helped me confirm I did make a right choice by getting a Roku. Most people keep jabbering about being able to watch live TV and stream their media from their computer to TV. What I don't think they realize is both of those things can be done without Roku or Boxee. I already have a tuner card, video card, and "cheap" special cords to do both of those things. To be honest I rarely do either of those things anyway.

yes. just hook up the composite cables that come with it to the cable box, and then turn on and watch anywhere within so many feet.

This is an old TV, so it's not a "smart" TV. You'll need a 3rd party device (ie: Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, etc) in order to run any app like Amazon Video, Netflix, etc.

I ended up purchasing this display as well...and I'm very happy with it. I've owned the TV for roughly a month now...Regarding the questions that I asked previously in this post, I have yet to see any banding issues on any DVDs or Blu rays, no clouding issues, and have not experienced any hdmi hand shaking issues what so ever. I really can not comment right now on the sports issue due to the football season being over...but I will be watching the NCAA tourney! So far, the TV has performed exceptional and the picture quality is excellent. I feel the display's panel being a 10 bit panel over an 8 bit like most other LCD displays really is beneficial!by the way, Thanks for the response James :P I ended up purchasing this display as well...and I'm very happy with it.
