  • Most “smart” TVs today have all of the apps you use and more built in. But in a strong personal opinion I do not trust the TV brands to deal with security issues except in extreme cases. But I’m a minority.

    But if you want Apple TV shows/subscription you’ll need either a smart TV with the AppleTV app as an option or an AppleTV box. You can also get a Ruku box/stick/whatever and get everything but AppleTV subscription.

    For the same security / privacy reasons I don’t use Google TV products.

    One reason TVs have gotten so cheap is they charge the various services to put on their apps or get a cut of the action when you watch via the built in apps.

    It is the remote control for my phone. I have all the sounds turned off so it only vibrates. But when I get a call or message or an email from a “fav” it tells me about it. And a few other alerts. But my phone can stay sound off most of the time and not be in my pocket all the time.
