Think of a smart TV the same way that you're driving on an interstate.

Once you're on I-4, You only see billboards and exits that are on that interstate... Similar to the world of Netflix.

So you have to exit that interstate and go to a different route (e.g. Amazon Prime, YouTube, etc)....each smart app is its own world.

That said, the world can be at your fingertips. Much more than antenna or cable TV.

Unless you watch a lot of movies, I'd suggest you install an all-in-one app such as YouTube TV. Under one app account, you get BOTH local TV channels plus much more news, sports, etc.

And, as others have said, your TV runs (operating system) on Amazon Fire or Roku.... Some say that Roku is easier to operate. IMHO, they're about the same. Yes, each app requires a login password and lots of your money! Haha.
