        SERVICES PROVIDED BY TVs and set-top boxes with HD channels and 4K TV quality…

        For TVs, it helps to find extended warranty coverage such as 2 years instead of 1 year for brand new models. In my case, I prefer buying from the http://www.richersounds.com website to get their 6-year warranty coverage just in case and especially so for large TV screens and TV updates that may or may not work!

        Also note that Hisense TVs for the year 2024 may also include FREELY which is an on-going replacement for Freeview channels. The use of the Internet streaming means we’re having to pay extra costs rather than using our existing rooftop aerials for Freeview. We’ve already seen a massive introduction of Internet streaming and the latest set-top boxes like the Netgem Netbox 4K models get over a hundred extra TV channels when we run the autotuning service for Freeview as well as the Netbox TV Channels. Even more TV channels have been added recently…

        I’ve bought the Netgem Netbox 4K boxes already and was pleased to get the emails I subscribed for telling me of new TV channels which other set-top boxes don’t get.

        The LG 4K Tvs get their own selection of LG TV channels by the way…

        The ROKU set-top boxes have a separate ROKU TV channels selection, too.

          I bought this for £15 including delivery:

          Netgem N7950 Streaming TV Box

          This gets me over 100 Netgem TV channels as well as the Freeview channels…

            The zone.tv streaming service is called zoneify and a Google search showed me the way to view this on my computer monitor. It was featured on YouTube so I checked what I could to learn which ways to watch and to use the services.

            As it’s based in the USA, I used a VPN connected to Washington in order to access the content. Several VPN services are suggested by the Android and Firestick and ROKU YouTube gurus as a way to finance further YouTube videos. In my case, I’ve tested Windscribe and others yet I use the AVG program for Internet Security as well as extra options such as Anti-Track and VPN.

            http://www.google.com for extra details to see what’s on offer.

              Here’s a QUORA topic that has thousands of suggestions for free Internet streamed movies and TV shows.

              https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-best-website-to-watch-online-movies-for-free

              Many famous services are going to get recommended yet there are still some free services I’ve never heard of. So when extra info is provided this helps us to do some research. We may see the websites and test if the content streams for our computers and Smart TV access or using set-top boxes such as the ROKU. Amazon Firesticks are falling out of favour with some according to the latest YouTube videos. Too long for the updates to work correctly or apps that we can’t access.

              My problem was the Mouse Toggle didn’t work but I disconnected the USB drive and tested the wi-fi dongle connector which worked with the remote control unit and its QWERTY keyboard and its special button to move the cursor around. The eBay website sells these remote controls, so look for a remote with blue home and OK buttons, and red TV and mouse buttons. It has a blue e Internet button, too. So now I use the Firestick remote and this remote, too.

              I haven’t ordered the new versions of the Firestick based on the operating system not being as user-friendly as the older 4K versions.
