Asked 1 year ago by Charlie.

• A:Answer Good news, Charlie! The Google TV Streamer (4K) can turn your regular TV into a smart TV, allowing you to access various streaming services. A Google TV streamer works with most TVs that have an HDMI port. However, there are a few things to consider: > Internet Connection: You'll need a reliable internet connection to stream content. > Cable TV Services: If you rely on specific cable TV channels that aren't available through streaming services, you might still need a cable box for those channels. > Live TV Streaming Services: Some streaming services offer live TV channels, but your local channel availability may vary. > Subscriptions: Each streaming service requires a subscription with its own cost.
