You didn’t mention PlayStation Vue and Sling, the streaming stations we are talking about. My three-year-old smart TV has all those apps too, but not the streaming services. You can’t access any of those without a subscription of some type (be it direct with Netflix, for example, or, say DirecTV, for the networks). A Fire Stick makes it a true smart TV to stream channels.My TV has the ability to download apps from an app store. It includes all of the big names (Hulu, amazon, netflix, HBO, Starz, Showtime, ABC/CBS/NBC, HGTV, etc.)
