What Is Smart TV?
A smart TV, also known as a connected TV (CTV), is a traditional television set with integrated Internet and interactive Web 2.0 features, which allows users to stream music and videos, browse the internet, and view photos. Smart TVs are a technological convergence of computers, televisions, and digital media players. Besides the traditional functions of television sets provided through traditional broadcasting media, these devices can provide access to over-the-top media services such as streaming television and internet radio, along with home networking access.
In smart TVs, the operating system is preloaded into the television set’s firmware, which provides access to apps and other digital content. In contrast, traditional televisions primarily act as displays and are limited to vendor-specific customization. The software applications can be preloaded into the device or updated or installed on demand via an application store or marketplace, in a similar manner to how applications are integrated into modern smartphones.
The technology that enables smart TVs is also incorporated in external devices such as set-top boxes and some Blu-ray players, game consoles, digital media players, hotel television systems, smartphones, and other network-connected interactive devices that utilize television-type display outputs. These devices allow viewers to find and play videos, movies, TV shows, photos, and other content from the Web, cable or satellite TV channels, or a local storage device.
What Exactly Does Smart TV Do?
Smart TVs are very much like smartphones; they stream entertainment straight to your TV via an internet connection. This means that you can watch all the latest films, box sets and play games on your smart TV without the need for an aerial, cable or separate streaming device.
Do You Need Internet For A Smart TV?
Yes, your smart TV will work normally without an internet connection. You’ll be able to use a cable box or an antenna to watch TV channels, connect Blu-ray/DVD players, connect speakers, and do everything else that a regular TV does. However, you will be unable to use any of the included video streaming apps.
Does Smart TV Have Wi-Fi?
All Smart TVs have built-in WiFi and you should be able to connect to your home wireless network during the setup of your TV, or through network settings. Alternatively, you can use a wired connection and connect your router to your TV via an ethernet cable.
Can You Watch Normal TV On Smart TV?
If you’ve been wondering how to get local channels on a smart TV, you’ll either need to purchase a high-definition digital TV antenna or download a free app or two from your TV’s app store. Using an antenna only has a one-time cost and doesn’t even require an internet connection.
