A Smart TV is very popular now, since everyone streams their shows and can’t forget live tv.
I have recently looked at all my smart tv has. Now Roku channel is worth downloading, so is Pluto tv.
Love the movies and tv shows on there. Oh and the commercials on there are very short.
Oh and wow on the live tv, that is pretty great too. You even have a way to rewind a show to start at the beginning. Was amazed when I found that out. So smart tv’s are the way to go, since many are stepping away from cable.
Why A Smart Tv?
- free tv channels
- live tv channels
- Stream apps all in one place
- Free Movie apps to watch movies
- almost every channel has their own app
I have found that the free tv channels are great, you just watch your favorite show on there.
- My live tv has shows that air all day on repeat. One show I watch is Little House on the Prairie and it will go from Season 1-9, and start all over again.
Ditch Cable is my Next Thing to Do
Why I am thinking of this, next year when my contract is up.
- Cheaper to stream on my Smart TV.
- My Shows are on the live tv app
- Cable cost alot
- You buy a package for 2 years- you are stuck till that time is up.
- I felt pushed into getting my channels with my Internet package.
This may be the way to go, I am gonna consider this when my cable contract ends in Sept. Since I work so much in my business, and I don’t watch as much tv as I used to. There is so much that you can watch on your tv now. Even watch older shows on streaming channels too. Like Disney, or Prime Video, as I pay for those already too. Since I have grandbabies that need their shows, why not start watching more on there for myself.
At first I had no clue what a Smart TV was and just listened when others told me about it. So I looked into a Roku Smart TV. and I also went and upgraded to a bigger one also. And I love my TV wishing I had listened to others when they said I should get one. Because I was using my Roku for my apps to watch them all. Now my apps are on my tv and easy to get to when I need them. No need for a whole different remote, it is all there on the screen when I turn it on.
When I bought a Smart TV, I got it home and set it up. I loved it right away and didn’t know why I had waited so long to get one. It was the best decision I had made. I set up the home screen how I wanted it, with the apps I watch. Of course after I added my wi-fi to it, because that is how the tv gets to the apps. A smart tv is very popular now, more than it ever was. No one now and days has the older ones, without the wifi apps. I recently found that I can even cast from my cell phone, it will ask me sometimes if I would like to connect to my Roku tv
How To Watch Apps Without A Smart TV
Now, way back when I used to not have a way to watch apps on my TV. I would watch on my computer and open the app on there. Attach a HDMI to the computer and then connect to my tv. Then I could watch Netflix and on a bigger screen. Or I would watch my shows on my iPad or even my cell phone. But of course I didn’t like the way the movie looked on the tv. Looked a bit blurry and I needed an upgrade.
So if you don’t have a computer to watch your app-Netflix or Disney. You can also use a tablet, or go to your cell phone. We are all noticing that everything is on an app and getting more simpler. Now its even better, to have it on your television. I never would have thought that I could watch an app on my tv and not have to use my cell. A smart tv is very popular now that I have noticed more and more apps are on there. That is what convinced me to just get a smart tv, and it is so much easier to watch.
If your thinking about getting a smart tv, go ahead because a smart tv is very popular now. The possibilities on what you can download
Connect To An App
Now my app for my Roku Tv is downloaded on my iPhone. I love the app because it makes my Bluetooth headphones connect to the streaming apps on my tv. Now I mean, that I can watch Netflix on my tv, be connected to my phone. And now I am listening to my movie via wireless! Now how great is that! No disturbing others and you get to listen while using your headphones.
Now, when you do this on your cell phone. Download the Roku app and make sure your tv and cell are on the same wi-fi network. If you have a Roku TV you can download the app with the same sign-in. As long as you know the info and make sure they match. Having it work that much easier. This made my decision feel right since a smart tv is very popular now.
How I had found this out is from research and looking for myself. I first thought I needed a bluetooth adapter for my tv. To find that I had a headphone jack on my new tv already. But I did not have a long enough cord to reach to me. The alternative is use the Roku app on my cell and connect using the headphones I already use for my cell. And all I can say is wow.
You Need Wi-Fi To Connect A Smart TV
Yes, you will need wi-fi so you can download some apps for the tv. Also, to watch what you downloaded. So if you currently don’t have it, then this may not be the tv for you then. Just another thing you will need to consider when you think about getting A smart tv. Since a smart tv is very popular now, and there are so many options to choose from.
Smart Tv a Wrong Choice?
You never now, do your research and check it out and see if may like it. And you can get some free apps on there also. So you do not need to have the apps, just pick and choose.
