It is made to be mounted in your wall like a TV (you will get a stand, but it surely’s bought individually), and the Present 15 additionally pairs with a Hearth TV distant (or you need to use the app) to make use of the streaming options. Voice instructions for streaming do not work properly, so it looks like a bizarre in-between of a wise show and a TV that does not excel in both division.
