What does the Smart TV do?

Our Smart TV gives you internet access, apps, games, catch-up TV and a selection of free films alongside all the regular TV channels. If you’ve missed a must-see movie at the cinema, chances are you can catch it on this 40" Smart TV** instead. If you’re heading out and about, the Explore section on our Smart TV has a handy guide to the local area, including our favourite spots to visit and the best sights to see nearby.
