An electronic device, typically compact, connects to a television and utilizes the Android operating system to facilitate access to a range of applications, including streaming services. A prominent use case is enabling television sets to stream content from a ubiquitous subscription-based platform offering movies and television shows.
Such devices offer an economical means of upgrading older televisions with smart capabilities, expanding content accessibility beyond traditional broadcast channels. They provide access to a vast library of on-demand video, circumventing limitations imposed by the television’s built-in software, if any. Furthermore, these devices can often deliver improved performance and updated features compared to older smart television models.
