In case you don’t know, smart TVs are TVs that can access the internet, update your viewing content, connect to your home systems  and even run apps to enhance your entertainment.

You hear about smart TVs everywhere now. It has almost become a norm to have one. Your friends are talking about it, and you wished you had one. Well, have no fear, you don’t need to splash out another £500 pounds to get yourself one.

There are devices now that you can get and connect to your TV and it makes your old TV “smart”. There are many of them out and they are all unique and different in what they offer. You just need to research into what you want to be watching or listening to and you will find the set-top box, as they are called, that will fulfil your needs.

Don’t be scared for your pockets, the price range is from £30 to as much as £140. They all offer almost similar services so you won’t go wrong if you went for the cheaper one. Most of them run Android and you will find others running other systems.

I will recommend anyone that runs android because they are more scalable, easy to use, cheap and flexible for your entertainment needs. They come with built in apps that will make your viewing and listening experience worthwhile. You can also easily go the Play store to download your favourite apps like Netflix and other video and music apps to enjoy. Some won’t let you download any app though, they have their own store where you can add manufacturer specific apps to the system.

What you need is a TV that has an HDMI connection and you are ready to use and even browse the internet on your old TV. Set-top boxes come with remote controls or keyboards to easily control them.

Where to buy is easy, you can do a quick search on google and you will see a list of the common ones out there. You can also go to your local electrical store and ask for recommendations. Happy Viewing
