With the continuous development of smart terminals such as computers and mobile phones, our leisure and entertainment activities have become increasingly diverse. As far as watching TV, the only television broadcasts in the past have also been difficult to satisfy the needs of users. However, TV has a long service life as a traditional large appliance and has used it for two or three years. Although it is outdated in terms of content and functionality, the display and sound effects are still very good. So how can we upgrade home TV, have smart features and rich content?
1. The “Intelligent†Plan for TVs: With the continuous development of smart terminals such as computers and mobile phones, our leisure and entertainment activities have become increasingly diverse. As far as watching TV, the only television broadcasts in the past have also been difficult to satisfy the needs of users. However, TV has a long service life as a traditional large appliance and has used it for two or three years. Although it is outdated in terms of content and functionality, the display and sound effects are still very good. So how can we upgrade home TV, have smart features and rich content?
In the past, television was the only leisure and entertainment center for many families. After dinner, family members would sit in front of the TV and watch television programs. Although there weren’t many TV shows at the time, the way of entertainment was limited, and family members were always able to join together and watch very happily. However, now that the Internet and mobile Internet are very popular, people are more accustomed to watching videos on smart terminals such as computers and mobile phones. Although most of the videos watched by users are from TV stations, they can be broadcasted at any time on computers and mobile phones. Many people have abandoned cable television and defied the Internet.
It is of course convenient to watch videos on computers and mobile phones, but the screens of these smart terminals are often relatively small, and the user's viewing posture is not comfortable. Especially when watching TV on the sofa, watching a program with a small screen is still very uncomfortable. How to achieve on-demand wonderful content on TV has become an important step for users to return to television.
With the successive birth of network television and smart TV, the television has realized the convergence of broadcast television cable resources and network resources. However, after all, the content of the Internet is mixed, and it is difficult to achieve the TV auditing standards. Therefore, during the development of Internet TV, the SARFT conducted a timely rectification, which effectively prevented the dregs on the Internet from reaching the TV stage.
It is certainly necessary to screen out inferior content, but in this way, the degree of freedom of users will have a certain influence. The web browser of TV is forbidden, the content of video website is forbidden, can only obtain the content through the authorized licensee's office, this lets many users find the content that they like at the end of the TV at all.
2. External HD box / mainframe computer <br> one: external HD box <br> I believe many of my friends know, by increasing high-definition TV set-top box is the most "intelligent" most of the cheap and easy way. In theory, non-smart TV + smart HD set-top box = smart TV. The HD set-top box is equivalent to the smart module in the smart TV, but one is built-in one is external, and the effect achieved is basically the same.
Of course, the contents of the HD box are also subject to the SARFT's control, so the amount of content cannot be exactly the same as the Internet. However, as consumers, they are free to choose HD license boxes from different licensees. At present, the development level and biased direction of the seven major Internet TV licensees are not the same. Many HD box manufacturers will also create their own unique ecosystem or provide richer content.
However, compared with the decoding of the TV itself, there will be a certain deviation in the final picture of the video decoded by the HD box. And the resolution and refresh rate supported by the box must match the TV.

Method 2: Configure the living room host <br> Speaking of the degree of freedom of operation, the richness of functions, and the amount of resources, the television platform always has a certain gap with the computer platform. And the hardware and systems of smart TVs are not as powerful as computers. So why don't we choose a computer host for the TV in the living room to play videos and play video on demand?
After seeing this method, I believe that many netizens will have questions and think that connecting to a computer host TV is not equivalent to a monitor. From a principle point of view, this is true, but from the viewing habits, television or television. After all, in the smart world, TV's responsibilities are also increasing. We don't need to stick to smart TVs or computer hosts. What we really need is to be able to lean on the sofa in the living room and enjoy the big screen.
The mini-living room TV host uses a computer host. Users do not have to be restricted by the content of the TV. They can freely surf the Internet and browse all the content on the Internet. The major video sites are free to enjoy, and wonderful videos at home and abroad can also be enjoyed at any time. And compared to smart TVs, computer hosts dedicated to computing operations can provide smoother operations and easily perform a variety of complex operations.
Although the price of ordinary computer hosts is now very low, but for TVs, the price itself is a few thousand dollars. With such a retrofit, the added cost is somewhat higher. In addition, the size of a computer host is still much larger than that of a set-top box or the like, and it is troublesome to use and arrange.

3. Synchronous mirroring / resource sharing <br> three: mirroring <br> some smart TV or license provider of high-definition set-top box selected resource development is not ideal, online content providers is very limited. This has caused many users to lose faith in the "intelligence" of TVs, and it feels like smart TVs do. Instead of watching disliked content on a large screen, use a small screen device such as a mobile phone or tablet.
In fact, as long as the set-top box of a television or linked TV has a mirror (projection) function, it can directly project the contents of the mobile phone and tablet onto a large screen for viewing. In this way, although the screen is equivalent to only one monitor, you are free to choose what you like. As long as the user can find the terminal through a mobile phone, tablet, etc., they can all be displayed on the TV.
Of course, TV mirroring (screening) is divided into two types. One is that the screens of mobile phones and other terminals are completely synchronized with the screens of televisions. When the mobile phone turns off the screen, the television end cannot continue to display. The drawback of this approach is that it consumes a lot of power from mobile phones and tablets, causing unnecessary power consumption. The other is that the mobile phone is only responsible for pushing, and is played by the television end link network. As a result, no additional battery power is consumed in playing the movie. However, it needs the support of the client, and the content pushed will be limited.

Method 4: Playing with a Mobile Storage Device <br> Many friends like to watch movies at home. This way, you don't have to pay for theater tickets, but you can watch it more comfortably and casually. Especially on TV, the effect is much better than on a computer. However, many movies have online downloads even if they have download resources on the Internet. And in order to ensure the smoothness of the video, many on-demand movies have very poor clarity and cannot be compared to what is being played locally. In fact, after downloading a good movie in advance, playing it on a TV via a storage device can yield very good results.
Of course, many people think that the process of downloading, copying, and then transferring to television is somewhat complicated. However, many smart TVs and HD boxes have resource sharing functions. They only need to be set up on a computer or a router with a hard disk. The TV can easily access all local resources and play is very convenient.
