Anyone got one?
I'm up in York for the racing and the gaff I have rented has one. It's connected to the interweb and has all manner of ports. I have been playing songs from a USB stick and listening to my Trouble's House videos via the Youtube app. Good gadget for holiday use, not sure I'd stump up for one as they look pretty expensive.

£30 Chromecast can convert your TV into smart TV, I think.

Does that just give google music, or can you access other apps? This one here is a samsung tv and there's ca 25 apps you can access

Just had a read about that, it seems you "cast" from your laptop/tablet/phone to your tv, giving access to all manner of stuff.

My sister, who is one of those idiots who likes to 'Keep up with the Joneses' got one last year.

A couple of months ago she told her son she was going get a new computer.

He said 'Why mum? You can do all your internet stuff on your new telly. That's why it's called a Smart TV.'

She had no idea ffs.Sad

mobdro is a great little app for your Android phone that you can cast to your Chromecast. It's not available on the Play store so Google to find out more about it Happy

Now TV box is also a great little device as long as you hack it (really easy). I've one of these in an upstairs TV and use Plex to stream Movies and Youtube rips.

no but you dont need a smart tv to play movies or songs. i have two tv's that do that and neither are smart tv's. a lot of modern tv's have a built in media player via usb.
