Looking for an echo show like bedside device that does youtube
Basically I want something that has nice clock and alarm functions, let me schedule a youtube video, OR download a video recording (MP3/4 etc) to the device to use as an alarm, along with maybe a radio function, or a web browser that would let me access a radio stream.
It's my understanding that the Echo devices no longer are allowed to access youtube (without hacking it i guess) for some reason. are there other generic brands that don't have limitations ?
Thanks

Echo devices CAN access YouTube via the Silk browser, but it’s not as elegant as within the Google ecosystem. If you are already wired into Alexa, then you can also use a Fire HD 8 tablet (plug it into power and put it in show mode) or the upcoming Echo Show 5 is basically the same as what I described above only first-party and ten bucks more.
You're wanting to get one of the smart displays, like the nest hub.
