Sky smart tv..

[Bender]

Advert says smarter than a smart tv, it's not. 

 

In laws have one, you can't even connect your phone to it. 

 

Anyone got one, am I missing something Ohh and on an energy rating from H to A it's an H

Apparently connecting your phone isn't an option they "allow" 

 

In other words the tv is capable of it they just don't want you to do it

I think ur better off with a smart TV, plus I'd imagine sky still own it and you send it back once you u subscribe. We stripped our sky account back to just the Internet as they matched the cheapest we could get and gives good connectivity. We have NOW TV subscription which you can cancel as and when and it's owned by sky saves us quite a lot and we have a nice LG oled TV with various apps etc.

"Sky" and "smart" and "TV" in the same sentence. wow.

 

fortunately I have a pen and some paper to hand so I've written that down and will pin it to the wall and when I have an off day will ponder it to the max. mulling over the lucky escape I had way back in 2000 when my TV fell off its stand. and sent up a very picturesque little faux mushroom cloud. and at the time my financial situation was so dire I couldn't afford a replacement. oddly enough it only took a couple of weeks to realise I didn't want a replacement.

 

beats listening to Enya (on repeat) in a darkened room.

 

obviously there's a downside, I don't have the fun and excitement of endlessly flicking through channels while complaining that "there's nothing on!!" or taking part in the current addiction which is watching Matt Hancock eating random marsupial genitalia. and saying "Doesn't Boy George look old" while waiting for him to punch the afore mentioned former health secretary in the face.

 

it's a constant struggle.

Not had a TV since 1979. Can't say I've noticed the lack. Bit of a conversation stopper though - " Did you see.....?" No.

No-one says that now anyway. With so many channels you'd struggle to find anyone who had watched the same programme. Gone are the days when last night's viewing was a shared experience because there were only three channels.

I'll take your word for that although I fear with the amount of column inches in papers concerning Strictly and the jungle thing with Hancock a fair number must be watching those.

I thought Tony Hancock had departed this mortal existence. Is the poor man trapped in some form of televised purgatory?

 

I have heard of this strictly thing but assume it to be some form of kinky rumpy pumpy. Am I mistaken?

TV has been my saviour whilst unwell. I've  been watching the cricket t20 in the mornings England did do well some great matches and teams
