Learn Your Smart TV & how to record programs

If you haven’t bought a TV in the last three-to-five years, you might not have realized how much technology has advanced. More often than not, now, new TVs are “smart”. Just how smart is your smart TV? These high-end TV's are supposed to combine the best parts of your computer & your TV. 

In addition to being able to stream movies/tv shows you can also learn to program your smart or dumb TV ("DVR") to schedule a recording of a particular show and/or record your favorite series. This way you can also skip the commercials & not have to be sitting in front of your TV at the exact moment your favorite show is on. 

Smart TVs:

  • allow you to stream (watch) TV from services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video & Hulu directly on your TV without buying a separate device

  • allow you to browse the internet on your TV screen

  • allow you to play games

  • provide apps & channels for you to enjoy many other things

In some cases, it’s more beneficial to keep your old (dumb) TV and buy a small, relatively inexpensive device that comes with 'smart' features & you can continue to use your perfectly fine TV. Try the Roku Streaming StickApple TV or the Amazon Fire Stick.
