TV was pretty easy to set up. I bought a new "full range" wall mount for it and got it hung today. Looks good. Sound bar should be here by the end of the week. I hope that's just as easy to set up/figure out. Sure would be nice if there was good quality high speed internet available here. I guess I'm going to have to look at Starlink Starlink has been amazing for us, have not been disappointed, only time it has been out has been intense rain and when we have lost power which of course nothing would then work. You do have to worry about obstructions though. it faces direct north so that is where you need to be concerned about. If you get the STarlink app you can check if obstructions would interfere with your dish.

Thanks What do you do during the winter when we get 4-6' drifts?

Easy enough for an old guy who hasn't messed around with any new electronics for over a decade Sounds much better than just the TV, but nothing like my old surround system. However, it doesn't take up room with a big subwoofer and 5 speakers mounted around the room. I like my sound bar. Way better sound than just the tv and like you said, doesn't take up any room basically. I've been messing around with the settings on the soundbar. "Movie mode" makes football games sound pretty good.
