Many people hear concepts such as:

Streamer, Mini Computer, KODI Player, Media Streaming, KODI Streamer , TV BOX, SMART TV

And they have no idea what a streamer is, and what can be done with a streamer.
So we'll dedicate the next post to one important goal - to explain what it is

Streamer / Mini Computer / KODI Player / Media Player, and what to do with them, and why to buy a streamer!

The technology world is very dynamic and evolving and every few years there is a technological revolution and with it also comes another kind of device that decorates our home living room, so if ever VHS video was the technology peak and then we upgraded our video to 4 heads video that could also record, over time These devices were replaced by compact discs, CD players, which after a few years were replaced by DVD players and then DVD recorders, then the era of "SMART TV", so the mastermind is surely the streamer.
Because once most of our content was stored on physical media such as cassette, CD or DVD, today most of our media is stored on disk or external hard disk, and the evolution of technology makes us move to an age where all content is stored on a remote server " Cloud "such as YouTube, etc ... And through streaming or" streaming media "we have become accustomed to consuming all our content directly from streaming services like YouTube and KODI, the benefits of this type of use are many: no need to download content to our device, no need to purchase media Different storage, everything is faster and more accessible, and you can watch anything you want with the click of a button and anywhere in the world Trent.
So in simple literal translation "Streamer" - it streams media, mini PC - small computer, SMART TV - smart TV, TV BOX - TV box - these are all different types of electronic devices aimed at upgrading the way we used to consume various media types such as :
Surfing the Internet, watching TV, watching photos, watching movies, watching series, videos and more ....
By and large, all devices are used for the same purpose and they basically make your TV the home entertainment center.
Later in the post we will explain the difference between each device:
Streamer, Mini PC, TV BOX, SMART TV, Android Streamer, Android TV, Player KODI, KODI Streamer, Home Theater Computer etc ...
Some of the devices are the same device only with a different name, and some of the devices simply operate on a different operating system and their main purpose is a little different, and we will describe in detail each type and operating system and the uses of each operating system.
So first of all, we'll briefly break down and divide the whole "streamers" world into 3 main types and explain what can be done with each type of streamer and what can be done with each type of streamer and why in each streamer buy and also explain the difference between streamer and smart toy and what It's better to buy a streamer or SMART TV, so let's start:

What is the difference between Android Streamer and SMART TV or ANDROID TV?

Android Streamer - (also called: TV BOX, SMART TV, KODI Streamer , ANDROID TV) - refers to a small box based on the Android ANDROID operating system, the same operating system known to us from the smartphone and tablet that converted it to use with a computer screen or TV and allows to carry a wide variety Of various uses.
So as we've already noted before, Android is the most widely used operating system in the world today and can be found on over 75% of smartphones and tablets, and due to the wonderful capabilities of this wonderful Google operating system, Android has also made it into the niche of Android streamers, Android Stream itself You have to do everything you do with your smartphone and tablet and much more, on the big TV screen of the house, so let's see what can be done with Android Android, who is Android Android, and why should you buy Android Android, or maybe SMART TV at all?
So let's start from the end - the controversy of "What is better to buy?" - Standard TV + Android Streamer or SMART TV? (Which is actually a TV that has an internal Android stream fountain) - So let's summarize this issue in a few sentences and explain why it is best to purchase standard TV and purchase Android Android separately rather than Smart Toy with a built-in Android stream.
SMART TV is basically a standard TV with an internal streamer built into it that gives the TV additional features beyond the standard, that is, unlike a standard TV screen that connects external accessories such as a converter, a computer, a streamer, an era +, and to be used as an output device only, SMART TV can also be used as a standard connection output For devices such as: converter, computer, streamer, era + and also as input through the ability to connect to the internet, browse the internet, watch YouTube videos, download apps, etc. ....
But, and there is a big ... The internal streamer that most SMART TVs are equipped with is very low level, in most cases the operating system is not Android but a closed operating system that the screen maker has understood that does not allow apps to download freely and blocked in many options (detail) Below ...), and has a steamy spec, including:
- Old and weak processor
- Low 512MB RAM, which is currently 2GB or higher!
- Cheap and weak graphics processor
- Very low storage capacity of 4GB, which today's standard is 16GB!
- Wired Web Entry that does not support high speeds
- WIFI device with weak WIFI reception

* Notice that on smart TVs you will never find specification or reference to data like the built-in streamer processor, RAM or storage, why?
Because in the SMART TV specification manufacturers emphasize what they want you to know and data that is bad and no one wants you to know or compare - just omit it, just like the specification of a car that consumes a lot of fuel or is really really slow or really really heavy, you just won't find the data The manufacturer in this parameter because the manufacturers do not emphasize data that they want to hide ... point of thought!
The end result is a TV that's not so "smart" and doesn't know how to do much.
Or in other words a lot of promises from the marketers, but promises for the individual and performance for the individual.
The bottom line is SMART TV which is an inflated TV, which at best allows you to run some videos from YouTube and also it is tepid and sputtering!
Apps in Smart Tv? KODI on SMART TV? Surfing the Smart TV Internet? Don't even think about it!
Unless you have the patience and unnecessary time to look at the "Think" icon ......
There are also 2 niches on SMART TV, there are smart TVs with a unique interface like LG and SAMSUNG, they have an interface that they are responsible for developing, the number of apps available for download is extremely poor, and the apps in Hebrew, even more meager and can be counted by one hand, In short - get away!
In the other niche, there are smart TVs with a dedicated Android interface, the problem here is different, on the one hand, the variety of apps is wide - access to Google Play Store, but on the other hand, most TVs are not powerful enough to "swipe" the Android operating system, so that at the end of the day you will get TV That can't do much, because most apps won't run on TV (save your nerves, and don't try to install KOD Ion SMART TV).
In conclusion ,

If your money is important to you, and I believe it, don't throw money at SMART TV, which barely finished third grade!
Invest on a quality standard TV, and what you have saved on the TV you will invest in an Android Android stream or high quality PC!
Thanks for our advice later!
So on the bottom line, SMART TV is just regular TV, which has a cheap and weak streamer that you pay a lot more than you would separately buy a standard TV + streamer with the same specifications, so it is better to buy a standard TV + strong and high quality!
It should also be taken into account that if the TV's internal streamer is screwed up, then the TV is sufficient to upgrade the built-in TV's, you will have to replace the entire TV and invest a few NIS thousands to tens of thousands of NIS, while a quality streamer of up to 1,000 NIS can be purchased. H!
And for anyone who asks - KODI cannot be installed on most Smart TVs, and even if you do, the chance that you will be able to play something on SMART TV is very low, unless you spend over NIS 20,000 on TV, and even if you have a TV that is the word The latest, and running Android version 4.4, for example, you can't install 17 KODI on it (which supports Android 6 and above) and then "get stuck" with a NIS 20,000 TV that can't do much ...
So before you buy SMART TV, think twice!
