Most devices that plug in to a TV, and even smart TVs themselves, are very limited as to what they can do, and clunky to use.

However, it is very easy to connect a computer to your TV (especially if it has a VGA socket). You can then access the whole internet on your TV using the familiar mouse and keyboard.

CDs and DVDs can be played through the computer, or ripped on to the hard drive (for archival purposes of your disks only, of course).
