Just bought a Smart TV. Any advice on the best streaming services? Oh and a sound bar, the internal speakers are not up to the standard of my old TV (deliberate probably)
I use a Samsung soundbar because it connects wirelessly to our Samsung TV. (For 7 years it was brilliant but now it's forgotten not to auto power off which is irritating.)
As for streaming we use on the TV (and with my IMHO comments) in decreasing order . . .
Sky Catch up - excellent but you need a Sky Box or Sky Glass TVand for most content a subscription is needed
You Tube - just like on your PC but full screen and much better picture and sound. Search is awkward
BBC iPlayer - excellent but it's effectively already built in the Sky Catch Up
Disney+ - about £80 a year and only worth it for the (excellent) Star Wars spin offs eg Mandalorian
Amazon Prime - same £ but we only watch it about twice a month at most. Worth it for the free deliveries though
Netflix - about £100 a year and watch it even less mainly because Mrs K can't stand the swearing in the excellent Drive to Survive and
most of the films aren't what we want to watch.
Amazon Music - basic is free with Amazon Prime I pay £8 a month for the full service which is excellent but I really only use it on the iPhone
BBC Sounds - very good but similarly really only use it on the iPhone
Actually for most of the above we use an Amazon Fire Stick on the TV instead of the inbuilt smart TV features.
