TV makers unveil new models with built-in streaming
Samsung, LG, Sony, and other major TV manufacturers are all showing off their latest TVs at CES. Many of these TVs come with built-in streaming capabilities, so you can watch your favorite shows and movies without having to connect a separate device.
Set-top boxes bring streaming to any TV
For those who don’t want to buy a new TV, there are several set-top boxes that can add streaming capabilities to your existing set. These devices typically connect to your TV via HDMI and give you access to a variety of streaming apps, such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video.
Apps make it easy to watch TV on smartphones and tablets
If you prefer to watch TV on your smartphone or tablet, there are several apps that make it easy to do so. These apps typically offer a variety of live TV channels, as well as on-demand content.
The future of TV
The way we watch TV has changed dramatically in recent years, and it’s only going to continue to change in the future. With more and more people watching TV on smartphones and tablets, traditional television is becoming less and less relevant.
TV manufacturers and content creators are scrambling to adapt to this new reality, and the technologies they are showcasing at CES this week are a sign of what’s to come. The future of TV is all about streaming, and it’s about watching TV on whatever device you want, whenever you want.
