here once was a time when television consisted of three (or possibly four) channels and a fuzzy analogue picture that meant you missed half the action if the wind was blowing in the wrong direction. The technology has moved on significantly, but TV gripes still remain – only these days, we’re likely to feel a little miffed if our brand new smart TV doesn't come with all the latest catch-up apps.
Most new televisions worth their salt have a plethora of streaming options built in, but many sets won’t be able to supply everything you wish for. Missing Netflix and Amazon Prime Video apps? No BT Sport or ESPN+ on your TV? This is where a video streamer comes in.
