If you have a smart TV, run out and buy a ROKU box for $80. It is allows you to watch not just Netflix but Amazon streaming and Youtube (Youtube has movies and shows that you will not find anywhere else) They also allow Fox news and many other movie and TV channels. We have ROKU on two TVs and Google on another. Google allows me to use my iphone or ipad to bring up HBO GO (for current episodes of Game of Thrones) and send it directly to my TV. (cost $39)
I'm love both of these gadgets so much that we dropped DirecTV and our $110 bill every month. I can't say enough about ROKU or Google TV.
You really don’t need any roku box or google chromecast or to pay for any premium channels. That stuff is free to stream all over the net. Hook your computer to the tv with a digital converter and you are home free. And you can watch anything you want. Not just what the roku or chromecast tells you you can watch.
I have a dumb TV. I get youtube channel on the direct TV channels, but it don’t work on my TV.
It is a newer VIZIO, but dumb as a stump.
