Upgrading non-smart televisions to smart functionality

Overview

Non-smart televisions can be upgraded to support streaming services and smartphone connectivity through various hardware solutions.

In the Greek market, users can convert older televisions with HDMI ports into Smart TVs using external devices such as streaming sticks or TV Boxes. These devices allow access to platforms like Netflix, YouTube, and Disney+ by utilizing the television as a display for operating systems like Android TV, Google TV, or Amazon Fire TV. While streaming sticks are compact, TV Boxes offer more ports and storage. The final image quality is limited by the original television’s resolution.

Additional methods for connectivity include using wireless options via HDMI, such as the Google TV Streamer 4K, Amazon Fire TV, or Apple TV. Connectivity can also be established through Bluetooth or specific physical connection cables.
