[Electronics-Talk] Insignia TVS

Most of these kinds of things are slow because they are in the cloud not on your local device. So if you press a key, that goes up to the application, is processed, then the voice response is sent back down to your device.  All processing, and speech is done in the cloud, not on your local device.

I agree that voice view is sluggish on the insignia. I am wondering if it is because of memory. Maybe it has less memory for it to run on or something. I use it on my Wi-Fi from spectrum which is really fast, and it is still sluggish.
