slo’s WEDNESDAY 11/02 poll - Smart TVs

[slo]

How many smart TVs do you have in your home?


For Me….We have 4 - basement, bedroom #4 (this was the girls playroom that DD19 still uses to watch TV in and play video games), family room and DD19s bedroom.
We‘re thinking about replacing the kitchen TV, our bedroom TV and garage TV with smart TVs so we can get rid of DirectTV and just do streaming. If there’s some great Black Friday sales on TVs me may just do this

We have 3 TVs, but they are all dumb Smart TVs that can only do Netflix and Amazon, can't add new apps. So we use them with either Amazon fire sticks or Verizon streaming doodads. One in the living room, one in the family room, one in the master bedroom. I guess they are all 12-15 ish years old and they work fine so no reason to replace them.

All my electric appliances and devices are smarter than me. In fact I probably won't understand most replies here.

I have 6. We are a streaming and antenna household. All are Roku, 4 built in and two with Roku sticks. Added one to the guest bedroom/wife's office yesterday that I got for $99 from Best Buy.

I believe I have 3 I’m just not smart enough for them I’m slowly figuring it out ! I was extremely over joyed when I got HBO Max and Disney+ to show up and be able to use it on my main tv - you would have thought I invented gold but to me major accomplishment !!! Then of course I need to remember how to get to them to watch them - I’m a just want to turn tv on and it’s there person - not click thru 5 million things to get to something - I wish it was easier !!

Roku voice remote, you can do it through your phone or tablet also if you have the Roku app on it. Then you just turn on the tv and say "Launch HBO Max."

We have three TV's and they are all Smart. I use my iPad to watch TV in the morning while I'm in the kitchen, reading this thread.

I think we have 3 (family room, basement rec room, our bedroom) but I'll be honest that I never use them. My husband has them all set up so complexly -- where you need three different remotes and various settings for this/that -- that it's just not even worth it to turn the TV on. Hence, I spend a lot of time scrolling the DIS!

I only have 1 TV and it's a smart TV.

 

[PollyannaMom]

1? 3? I'm not sure.

I know the one in DH's den is, and the one in our bedroom isn't.

If I use a streaming app on the living room TV, I go through a Comcast menu, but I don't know whether I have to do it that way or am just used to doing it that way, so... maybe??

And I have no idea about DS's, as I don't really use that one. I think he accesses streaming through X-box or Playstation.

We have one not-so-smart TV. I’ve significantly increased its intelligence by implanting a Roku stick into its brain.

I’ve had the TV a looong time. It tried to die on me several years ago, but I found a YouTube video on replacing capacitors and somehow successfully fixed it.

 

[Moliphino]

One in the living room. We only have the one tv in the house, it has Roku built in.

 

[luvnwdwgal]

We only have one 1 tv in the house and it’s not a smart one.

 

[ronandannette]

We only have 1 TV in the house and it is smart. It’s been great to no longer have to use a casting device or the Firestick to use our streaming services.

 

[Uncle Coaster]

We have 4 tvs, 1 of which is a smart tv, but we plug Roku boxes into all 4 anyway. The actual smart tv does not hold the Wi-Fi connection very well so I just use the extra box I have instead.

 

[Meriweather]

We have 3 TVs, but one is just for playing my workout DVD
The family room is where we do our TV watching. It is a smart TV.
Not sure about the one in my office (I rarely use it). It is connected to a ROKU so I think it is smart

We just have 1, it's a 32 inch purchased as a black friday deal sometime ago. It's in the front bedroom and my husband uses it to get ready in the morning (that room is essentially his secondary closet and where he irons his stuff) and the XBox 360 is up there as well.

On the main tv in the great room there's a fire stick attached. On the tv upstairs in the master bedroom there's a fire stick and a very old roku on it but they are otherwise normal tvs.

3 TV's. None 'smart' by themselves. All have TiVo, so sort of like 'smart' with many streaming options. Only streaming we have, and rarely use, are D+ and Prime. Comcast cable is usually more than sufficient for us.

 

[CdnCarrie]

Three - family room, living room and basement. I could not share my tv with husband lol.

 

[MamaMermaid]

None! We bought a TV riiiiight before Smart ones becoming affordable. We did buy my mom a Smart TV for Christmas one year, though!
