Smart TV - Help, please, I can't do the techie stuff!

Jenny Butterfly

Hi Everyone,

Our tele is on its last legs and I'm looking for another one but fearing that I won't be able to set it up properly.  As it stands we have to faff around plugging in cables to switch between the DVD player, Britbox and Youtube from a laptop or another cable to a recording box.  Not ideal and now the HDMI ports have become a bit loose and unreliable too. 

Can I get just one smart TV to cover it all and also hope for it to be very easy to set up?  I'm not keen on going into a store and discussing our needs as I imagine we'll feel pressured to buy, but really I'm doubting I can just choose the right product for our fairly insular lifestyle?  Also, when I look online, there are loads of product abbreviations that I don't understand. 

Anyone got any recommendations?  I'd be very grateful.  Is there a tele that does it all or am I dreaming?

  • We have a TV that has iPlayer, You tube and other things like Netflix connected to the WiFi box. It is good to have it all together. We only use You tube and I player. My husband set it up, but there are instructions.

    We ordered online. Just thinking some websites have a chat thing where you can send a message to ask any questions you have. I have used them for other things so this might help you. If we link to the laptop we use a lead.
