Tuesday 11th August:
Getting the Most from Your Smart TV and Tablet
Did you know that if you have a Smart TV and a broadband connection at home, you may already have access to thousands of hours of free television, radio, and music — and not even know it?
Our next free tech talk is designed for anyone who suspects their television could be doing more than it is. Whether you’ve never touched the apps on your Smart TV, or you simply want to know what’s worth watching and where to find it, this friendly, jargon-free session is for you.
In this talk we’ll cover:
- What makes a TV “smart” — and how to tell if yours already is
- Free catch-up TV — BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4 and more
- How to turn any older television into a Smart TV for around £35–£50
- Paid streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime — are they worth it?
- YouTube — it’s not just for young people!
- Online radio and music, including BBC Sounds
- What everything costs — and what’s completely free
No experience needed. Just come along, bring your questions (no need to bring your Telly), and we’ll take it from there.
