Hi,

I have a Sony TV connected to a Roku Express.  (The Roku Express is connected to the TV via an HDMI cable so it can control the TV.)  From what I understand, this pretty much acts the same as a Roku TV.  I stream YouTubeTV.  What voice commands are available to me?

Specifically, I want to be able to:

1) Launch YouTubeTV.

2)  Once I'm watching YouTubeTV, I want to go directly to a network...  eg:  'Switch to NBC' or 'Switch to CBS'.

3)  Set a sleep timer so the Roku and TV go off in XXX minutes.

What are the voice commands that do this?

(P.S.  The voice mechanism is Amazon Alexa.  I make sure I add 'Roku TV' and it knows to control the TV.  I can say 'Alexa, turn off the Roku TV' and it knows to turn off the TV via Roku...)

Thank you!
