slo’s WEDNESDAY 11/02 poll - Smart TVs

[TippyThomas]

No tv's smart or otherwise.

 

[Mysterian]

I voted "one". I have another, but it's not in use.

I have one tv and it’s smart, but I don’t have the Internet capability to use it that way. It gets a great picture on the antenna though.

We have 4 TVs, 2 are smart with built-in streaming services to choose from and 1 has a Roku stick plugged in.

Since I travel a lot, I make all the TV's smart with ROKU and Fire Stick HDMI sticks. They even work at WDW although you often have to unplug the HDMI cable that the Disney TV service uses to get it to work. I carry a spare generic remote control as well if the one in the room won't do all of the functions.

One Smart TV in the home theater(basement.)

 

[disneychrista]

All the TVs are smart.

6. One Roku in the kitchen, and the rest have Firesticks. 4-one in each bedroom and 1 in the living room.

All the TVs are smart.

That sound ominous Christa!

 

[CynBeth]

We have 1 smart tv and 1 regular tv.

Four. All three kids rooms have Smart TVs and the Living Room TV is a smart TV. The living room TV is the only one that the feature gets used and that’s by the kids. I use the Roku when I watch it. Four TVs have Roku boxes, one has PS4 and Chromecast and one has Apple TV. That one is in my front room where I workout. I plan on replacing with a Smart TV so that when someone rings my doorbell it will show me who is there. My Living Room TV does it but it knocks everything out of whack and I have to press multiple buttons on multiple remotes to get it back to “normal.”

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.

We only have one tv as well, but it’s not a smart tv. I do use a chromecast to stream and I don’t mind it at all. Occasionally something is really glitchy but it’s usually pretty reliable.

Our first iteration was casting from apps on our devices through a Chromecast. Then came the game-changer of the Firestick and now the Smart TV with all the major entertainment platforms and web-surfing built-in. Trust me, it's better...just better. (**Except of course for having to use the remote to operate the keyboard for browsing; that good and truly sucks.)

Just one, our main TV. Our two other TVs are not smart TVs. All 3 are connected to Dish Network.
Got a text this morning from our daughter with whom we share a YouTube, and Netflix account. She wants to pause them to see if any of us miss them. None of us are using them. We have Peacock too, but the free version, but we don't use it either. About everything we watch is on Dish or OTA that we get with rabbit ears.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

we have one TV that is a smart TV and the smart part is so old that none of the apps work anymore. We have a Firestick for that one, we also have Apple TV and Rokus for the rest of the TVs.

One television. I will not buy a smart TV, so guess I will have to just keep this one going. We do have a Roku which I unplug when not actively in use.

 

[Praying Colonel]

We only have 1. We have 2 other TVs that are 10+ years old and we use Apple TV/Amazon Fire Stick to stream on those.

 

[elgerber]

We have 6 tvs, but only one smart TV. We use Roku's on the rest. Honestly I HATE the smart TV interface, the Roku is so much easier so we use that even on the smart TV most of the time.

 

[mamamary]

3 smart tvs and 3 older, regular tvs. My dd and ds have the smart tvs. My dh won a smart tv last year that is still sitting in the box, our bedroom and family room have the older tvs. Also we have an older tv stored in our basement.

If/when that one goes out you may not have a choice. It’s almost impossible to find a TV that isn’t “smart” anymore. The good news is you never have to connect it to the internet or use them if you don’t want to.

I love the Roku interface. I even swapped out my Apple TV on the main TV for a Roku and we’re an Apple family but I hate it’s interface and remote with a passion.
