5 things to think about when you’re choosing a TV streaming device

If you don’t have a smart TV – one that connects to the internet – and you want to be able to watch things like Netflix and YouTube on your TV, a streaming device (usually a stick or a box) lets you do that easily. It plugs straight into your TV and connects to your home broadband. It’s controlled through its own remote, or an app.

All of the streaming devices offer a slightly different mix of apps and services, and they change sometimes too. Before you pick a purchase, double-check to make sure your favourites are included.
