So does this TV work with the TAlkback screen reader?
So that one can navigate channels, look at the program guide.
Does it also allo allow access to things like Netflics, etc.

Set Top Boxes running Android are everywhere, there’s even a Remix Mini TV
version which you can use.
As I said earlier the Android TV is exactly that, a TV running Android Lollypop
with all the stuff a TV should have - Electronic Programme guide etc - with the
usual stuff, dedicated Netflix and Youtube functions, dedicated Google
Chromecast streaming, facilities to use Apps from the Play store, Voice search
and so on.
The system is without its flaws of course, I believe that the Electronic
Programme Guide is a little difficult to access for example but I’m hoping that
perhaps their may be a workaround so one thing at a time, I’m hoping to have
the TV in around 3 weeks from now.

Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the
