I have a LG smart TV Mod. 55 EG 920 T. I would like to watch free TV, movies etc. Q: do I need an Android TV Box or can I set-up the Smart TV without a Android TV-Box? If I can set-up the Smart TV with out a Android TV Box then how do I have to set it up? In addition I have a 1 TB external HDD Iomega and would like to hear music and see movies which I have loaded on the HDD direct via the smart TV but I can't. I am glad if someone can give me advice what I have to do or buy to use it via smart TV. Thank you in advance.
So I have an Android TV and an Xbox One on a Sony Smart TV. I can switch to either the Android or Xbox input and use either of those to watch Netflix or play a game for example. When I want to use my Smart TV, I just hit a button on my remote that takes me to the Home page, where all my apps I have access to on my TV are listed. I have occasionally seen the screen go a little strange if I am running the Xbox or Android and I go to the Home page on my Smart TV. So you might get some interference that way but just turning off the Xbox/Android or going to another input before starting the Smart TV cures it.
