TV boxes, or how even an old TV can become “smart”

"Smart" TVs have only been on the market for a relatively short time, and not everyone knows the difference between a "smart" TV and a regular one. A regular TV is a device that lets users receive and watch specific channels with the programs they carry, while a "smart" TV also has access to the Internet through special apps.

Many people wonder why they need a "smart" TV when they already have tablets, smartphones, and computers for browsing the Internet. One reason is that it requires no extra setup or steps. For example, if you want to watch a movie on your TV’s big screen, you no longer need to find it online, download it to a storage device, and connect that device to the TV. You can do all of that using the TV’s own features.

But TVs aren’t just "born" smart—they can become smart, too. There are several ways to make your TV "smarter." One of the most popular is to buy a TV box. Once installed, it gives your TV all the features of a Smart TV: Internet access, HD movies, a whole app store, and much more.
