Many smart TV can be • The most popular apps on smart TVs include ABC controlled using your voice iView, Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime Video. These are usually pre-installed on a new smart TV. Other apps can be installed from the TV’s app store. • While it’s usually most convenient to connect a smart TV to Wi-Fi, most smart TVs also include a wired network socket. • Smart TVs show special controls on their screen when you press the Home button. These might be a ribbon of options across the bottom or other icons or small panels from which you can choose programs or services. • If your TV does not connect to the internet, it is not a smart TV. If it is a smart TV and not connected to the internet, you’re not enjoying the benefits it has to offer. Try connecting it to make it smarter! For security, it’s important to get apps only from an official app store.
