Would you be better getting a bog standard one and a firestick?
the word on the street is that a firestick is better than a smart TV as it has a buffer memory and this mostly prevents buffering.
I agree with Phil D
Get a standard 20 inch TV and a firestick, make sure its the latest firestick not 1st generation one.

Im not genned up on these firsticks, can you tell me more about them
Basically they connect your TV to the internet so you can use I player itv catch-up Netflix (as long as you pay) without buying a smart TV. They are cheap and work well
Thankyou for explanation but the word " Pay" ...i'm out!
The pay bits only for Netflix don't panic they sell loads even in Yorkshire!!!Thankyou for explanation but the word " Pay" ...i'm out!

That's exactly what we are doing for Catchup TV, however, the Sky Go App can't be functioned from a phone or a tablet, only from a PC.......................as I have discovered recently.I just connect my chromebook to my Avtex and use 4G tethering on iphone. Works for me

Can you sideload apps onto a roku stick, vpns etc?Other streaming sticks are available! We got the Roku streaming stick.
Roku
Roku provides the simplest way to stream entertainment to your TV. On your terms. With thousands of available channels to choose from.www.roku.com
Sky go app works fine on iPad. I think Sky go extra requires an additional subscription though.That's exactly what we are doing for Catchup TV, however, the Sky Go App can't be functioned from a phone or a tablet, only from a PC.......................as I have discovered recently.

I was checking Android forums for a solution, so I don't know about Apple products, but that's when I came across the reason Sky Go can't be viewed via HDMI from an Android device, but can from a PC/Laptop.
It appears that even folks on Android 9 with a Sky Go Extra subscription, are experiencing the same problem.

Yip, I see what you mean now. Folks say the official apple adapter works but after trying and failing with iPad and Samsung adapters, I decided to purchase a Chromebook and external hard drive. I get all the apps I need from the google shop so I am good to goI was checking Android forums for a solution, so I don't know about Apple products, but that's when I came across the reason Sky Go can't be viewed via HDMI from an Android device, but can from a PC/Laptop.

Don’t know if this is a common problem, but when I had a new Avtex aerial fitted, it wouldn’t work with my old, but adequate TV. Something to do with the TV needing to send voltage to the aerial booster, so might be worth checking compatibility with your aerial? Just a thought.....

Silly question here, does all the above with fire stick etc, cost on data usage???
If you have not got enough data, then surely it won't work?
Or is ole Flooky missing something

It wasn't ment to be a definitive answer as a rough rule of thumb streaming uses 1 Gb/ hr. If you can lower the quality the amount of data used will be reduced.
It's to power the aerial booster. There should be a power supply provided with the Avtex I guess, it doesn't have to be powered by the tv. If there is not one, you may need to purchase a separate booster (a sort of signal amplifier), you can get them 12 volt or 240 volt. Look at the manual
