I want to buy a television soon and wonder what it takes. Actually, I just want to watch Netflix, Amazon Prime and Youtube on it, but I don't know what connections would be needed. I only have one socket available.
A smart TV with Wi-Fi, because most of the apps you mentioned are already preinstalled on these devices.
All you have to do is plug the TV into the Internet or connect to Wi-Fi…
current smart TVs already have the necessary apps on it…
I only have one socket available. Thanks to all the answers.
You need an antenna connection, otherwise it won't work. Of course, a normal socket for the power connection.
There are televisions with the appropriate fire tv app on the device. This is still relatively new for smart tv, but it is becoming more widespread given its popularity.
Otherwise, what works in any case would be the fire tv stick or a fire tv box. The latter has the advantage that it can also be connected via cable (LAN). So if that is out of the question as it is, it doesn't really matter
In any case, netflix and youtube also run on fire tv…
by the way: you will still need a television, one with hdmi. Without what? There should hardly be a new machine to repair today.
If it is a Smart TV, then the TV certainly also has a LAN port or W-LAN as a reception option.
Via LAN or W-LAN you then connect the television to the Internet (with the home router - provided that there's W-Lan reception) and you can then use all the services that your new television supports (which is the case with current branded devices on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Youtube, Disney + and Sky is usually not a problem).
If the television does not offer such smart options, a smart stick like Fire TV can often help; Apple TV, Googlke Chromecast further.
