How long before "Smart TV" revert to just TVs?
Smart TVs don't stay "smart" for long:
the 2011 range of Samsung 3D Smart TVs and Blueray/cinema boxes (the "D" series) had their support of Amazon Instant (was LoveFilm) dropped in September.
Amazon offered me an Amazon TV stick at a discount price that was still more expensive than a Chromecast that I already have.
Maybe it says more about Amazon, but I'm not gambling that my TV will still be usefully smart in a few years...
In the meantime, I have dropped my support for Amazon Instant...
