Using Alexa to work the TV

We have turned off Alexa on our TV although we have lots of Alexas dotted around the house. It was too intrusive

Some smart TVs have voice command built into the tv. Check on the settings, it’s probably switched off if you don’t use it.

I'm afraid my commands didn't work. Alexa said, "living room tv isn't responding, please check it's network and connections."
She says this about the lamp I have linked sometimes too. I think we need better broadband here.

Don't worry, I will just reset it as some point and if it doesn't work I can use the apps on the TV anyway

Oh dear, it not only didn't work for me searching for a particular episode of a series but, it crashed my fire stick

Oh no! I'm so sorry!! Good luck getting that back

I have Alexa linked with smart things on my samsung tv. I can change channels and ask to view Disney+ and Prime. I haven't asked for anything in particular on those channels though, so I don't know if this works.
Alexa cannot turn on the tv, but can turn it off.
Some more modern televisions come with Alexa built in.

I'll go test on mine

I can use Alexa for the TV if I press the little microphone symbol on the remote. I have only used it once though and that was to switch channels so I don't know if it can find single programmes.
