Still dithering about buying a new TV. There’s nothing wrong with the old one, a Samsung (fairly) Smart 40” jobbie, but we’ve had to add a couple of bits to bring it up to date
1) can’t get TV signal via an aerial so we’ve bought a Manhattan Freesat Box which gives us the ‘normal’ channels
2) Amazon Firestick which gives us Amazon Prime, Netflix and other subscription channels
Trouble is I’ve now got three remote controllers - TV, Manhatten, Firestick - and it’s starting to piss me off. If I buy a new TV which has a Freesat tuner, and Amazon and Netflix apps built in, I’m assuming I’ll only get one remote for the lot. Dump the Firestick and Manhattan box.
Is there any downside to not using a Firestick? Will the inbuilt app be as good, fast, etc?
Probably one of these when they are back in stock.
