We have a smart TV (in fact 2) and can record on our humax boxes.

Itās a bit of a digression, but I like the idea of a telly with no cables
LG is yet to confirm the TVās price or availability, but is likely to be more than its 97-inch G2 which costs Ā£24,999
Bloody Nora!
Do they wirelessly beam power to it, I wonder?
I confess it seems to me that rather than really solve the problem of cables, it merely pushes it to a corner of the room somewhere.
Itās early days, as with any new tech
Rechargeable battery so far. Maybe one dayā¦
More toys, while weāre at it
It makes absolutely no odds. Your Humax just gets plugged in same as always.
Android is the operating system - your telly is morphing into a computer like phones. Android is what letās the Smart bits work keeping it simple
Bloody Nora indeed.!!
Or spend the kidās inheritanceā:joy:

Thank you. Do you have fibre internet?
No doubt so that if someone pays with Ā£25,000 cash, the assistant will have to ring it up on the till so that they can extract the Ā£1 change required.
They wonāt be able to - money laundering and all that.
Yes we do now (in our house) but in fact bought our smart TVs when we had less than 2mb of internet speed most of the time with occasionally a stunning 3mb and in fact we still only have 3mb in the cottage/gite.
Netflix etc etc work perfectly with low internet speeds.

We have a smart TV but hubby super internet conscious and it isnāt connected to the web. We have our humax box, French TV and a pi for recorded stuff on a USB attached.
So why do you have it?
maybe because these days itās almost impossible to get an un-smart one

Thanks Sue. I read for the HD4K you need a min of 25Mbts download speed but until fiber comes our way HD is enough. Iāll need a VPN too I think.
Amazon say 15Mbps for 4k, I think 25Mbps is what Netflix recommend. How low you can go before either drop you back to full HD Iām not sure - I get about 10Mbps via my VPN, Prime works fine but I donāt think itās possible to tell definitively whether Iām watching 4k but with the compression turned up, or 1080p.
Our old ISP provided 13-15 Mbps and that was ok for 4k BBC David Attenborough programes.
