You’re probably aware of smart technology and Android in mobile phones, tablets and perhaps home automation systems but did you know that the world of TV is also moving forward with Android’s operating system to deliver exceptional viewing and streaming services at attractive prices?

What is Android TV?

Google has developed a smart TV platform which has been configured around the Android operating system. Using your internet connection and Google account, both free and paid for apps can stream to your compatible TV. Google has partnered with big name brands including Sony and Phillips so that Android TV is inbuilt in specific models. Sony allows the connection of a computer to their Android TV models; Chromecast is inbuilt.

From the home page you navigate screens via menus, nothing new to learn there, and select the apps, services, programmes and films that you desire. Make new discoveries or relive old favorites with no fuss or expense. Within the Android TV is Google Assistant which means that you can use voice command or push the buttons on a remote control when viewing. Access over 500000 shows and films plus recommendations via Google Assistant. You can play games on your Android TV as well. Welcome to amazing customised TV. You control your entertainment.

How can you connect to Android TV?

Android TV’s connect to digital media files, to your TV’s tuner and to apps. Televisions with an HDMI connection are also made Android TV compatible through a set top box. All you need is internet access and an aerial. Google’s smart TV platform is connected to its store so that you can conveniently download channels and services as you wish and access is from the easy to use home page. Apps appear there in a ribbon section. Amazon Prime, Disney, Youtube, HBO Max and Netflix are among the various services supported by Android TV.  You won’t run out of options because Google’s store features over 5000 apps.
