Android is currently considered the most functional and user-friendly operating system for Smart TV. The catalog of available applications is simply huge, which, on the one hand, is an indisputable plus, and on the other hand, gives rise to pangs of choice. To find the most profitable solution, our experts recommend paying attention to the following criteria.
Catalog. In order for each user to find content by interest, the catalog must be extensive. Most modern services offer a choice of hundreds of TV channels, as well as tens of thousands of movies and series.
Transfer archive. All the applications analyzed in this rating allow you to view recordings of TV programs for at least the last week. This makes it possible to pause programs and watch them later from the same place, as well as rewind the broadcast.
Trial period. Before paying for a subscription, the user must be able to test the platform. Most modern applications give free access for a week, and some even for a month.
The cost of a subscription, of course, also plays an important role. Not always the best choice will be a publicized site. In this rating, we analyzed both popular services, such as ivi, Okko and Wink, as well as less well-known, but fully satisfying user requests.
