When to use a Smart TV vs Streaming device for streaming!

Why are the words on your t-shirt and the sign behind you reading backwards?

Ok, I’m giving your channel a try, want to learn about cutting that cord.

For me, there have been instances where smart tv's had bugs that allowed hackers to access from the port your electronics ( I.e.. - computers, smartphones, all systems hooked through your router - even if password protected. )
So my LG 75QNED85 is kept offline - just my computer, phones and Roku are linked in.

I only have 3mbps from my internet provider and that is the highest they offer in my area. I would need 2 streaming devices am I just dreaming that I can use any streaming devices.

TOPIC IDEA: How do you record a local station that streams from their web site but not from live-tv ot similar streamers?

Wgn and wttw chicago, for examples.

fire televisions with fire tv built in lags so much i would not recommend fire tv if u want lag free speed.

Nvidia shield doesn't that goes to sleep

i have a LG SMART TV BUT I STILL LIKE THE AMAZON FIRE CUBEll!!!!

My Panasonic TV quit updating software a few years ago, so I connected a Fire Cube. My new LG TV does a good job, and I use my Xbox Series X if the LG is missing something.

You are killing me you are killing me get to the point 1st 4 minutes talking about T v's explain streaming on 1T versus roku or fire stick I have a $4000 Samsung explain The difference in me using a smart TV and a spider stick

I'd like to add that there may be instances where you might need another streamer in addition to your current smart TV. I have had a 2017 Shield tv for years and I still use it in conjunction with my fairly new LG TV with WebOs. I had also subscribed to the budget tv service FRNDLY which does not currently have a WebOs app, but Android / Google TV is supported. There was also an instance where a movie on the Roku channel "Weird" wasn't available on my Shield TV or LG TV, but I also already owned a Roku, so I was good to go there too. My point is not all content providers support all streamers, but you can mix and match streamers to get all of the content you want.

Apple TV 4K is pretty reliable, long term. It’s more expensive, but you kinda get what you pay for.

A friend convinced me to cut the cable and I'm glad I did. He suggested a Tivo 5k dongle. That confused me since I had smart Tv but he said the dongle would be faster. I now have fiber to my home with gig connectivity. Yes, I did a speed test and it is consistently slightly under a gig. I have a little older NightHawk 7000 but occasional drop connection to my Tv's (Laptops, phones, etc. don't have the issue) My main TV is a Samsung about 5 years old, I don't recall the model but my bedroom TV is a new Sony
KD55X80K. Would it not be better to run a CAT 6 line directly to my TVs to get full gig speed and a steady connection?

I'm buying a firestick just so I can use my Samsung Dex wireless because Google won't let me on my Google tv.

Just found your channel and I’m interested in your recommendations and suggestions. Looking to dump Dish and will not subscribe to Comcast, so streaming is what I’m interested in. I have a Vizio Quantum TV and although the picture quality is solid, the interface sucks big time. It’s laggy, clunky and you have to hit the buttons on the remote multiple times just to get it to register. Needless to say, this is the last Vizio TV I buy. I have super fast fiber optic internet with a gigabit of bandwidth, and no cap on my data. TV is hardwired but when checking speed due to buffering issues, I’m only getting between 10Mbps to 20Mbps. Would adding an external device bypass the built in TV hardware and allow me to have a more stable streaming experience? Also, can you get local channels thru these streaming services. Might be a stupid question, but I am a rookie when it comes to this. Thanks in advance.

Samsung TV’s are the best 7 years later and it’s still working perfect

I have a new samsung smart TV so I can play streaming services. However, the TV controller is best when used with a TV service provider. So my question is about the user interface of Streaming Service Controllers over the built in user interface of say a Samsung Smart TV. I find the Samsung Smart TV user interface for streaming apps kind of hokey and not real user friendly. So my question is, would I like the user interface of the Roku Premiere over the user interface of a Samsung Smart TV?

I am a 71 year old female and just got the courage to cut the cord. I was able to hook up a chromecast device and set up my older tv in about 30 minutes. Thank you for the helpful videos here. I chose chrome cast because I had bought it about 2 years ago and never took it out of the box out of fear of “killing” something. Thanks again.

My cuts power to the usb port that power any devices connected to it when you turn off the power. I’ve actually never encountered a a tv that didn’t so my Roku shuts down when the tv is shut down

The Walmart Brand of ONN TV Streaming Box for $19.88 is excellent for what it is & the Remote with Voice Activated Search is very nice.

The technology is change so fast is why we are buying net tv... the companies are jet as happy even ore so to sell you an add on widget.
What the companies wan it to sell you a more expensive tv

Cant take someones tech advise when they cant flip the video to the right direction. iPhone users are so dumb lol out here with backwards video every time.

were suruj mati busy now

When you have a roku tv. Roku is too locked down. I have an android box hooked to my roku TV. Now I can pretty much download whatever i want.

Hello. I'm a novice. I need a new TV and looking at TCL 43". I have Spectrum internet/TV (and a physical cable because I need it for work). I don't want to use Roku or anything else. Can I just get a smart TV and not use the Roku part and just download the Spectrum app and the other apps I use-like Paramount+ and Hulu. Thanks.

2013 Samsung Led tv-
No longer compatible with Netflix,
Still in shape, but trying to find an alternative to use apps and not buy a new tv

You need Internet. Correct? Not just a TV Antenna? (Asking).

Question that I've always had - Having an old 4k Samsung smart TV from 2017, still connects to the Internet & loads Netflix with no issue.
Purchasing media streamers, will it improve the picture quality due to Dolby vision etc.. and being newer?

Thanks 👍
