Broadcast standard
Before you start setting up digital TV, it is recommended to find out which standard is best to use. There are several of them - cable, satellite and terrestrial. Many modern TV receivers are equipped with built-in equipment, which will make the task much easier - you don’t have to buy equipment. When connecting to cable equipment, you will have to purchase an access card, a provider modulator, and also pay a fee every month.
Important! Terrestrial digital television in the DVB-T2 format is becoming popular. It does not require payment and is characterized by high image quality. An antenna and cable are purchased as additional equipment. In new TV models, the receiver is built-in.
It is important to consider that the antenna is installed outdoors and pointed at the broadcast tower. A cable is installed from the antenna and connected to the TV receiver.
For satellite broadcasting, an additional satellite dish and decoder are purchased.
Any of the accepted broadcast standards produces high-quality reception, reaching Full HD and 3D.
How to find the programs you need
To install applications on Sony Android TV, you need to use the Google Play search service, where you can select and download any of the existing programs. If the user needs a specific application, you can dictate its name by voice, so as not to type on the keyboard or scroll through pages in the search. At the same time, if voice control is not available or is not always convenient, no one forbids using standard means, turning your TV almost into a personal computer.
Speaking of applications developed specifically for the Android TV platform, Google Play offers many more options than for the same Smart TV, which means the owners’ options are wider. So, you can install IPTV, special browsers for surfing the Internet, games, radio and much more directly through your TV. Files with the .apk extension are also available.
When using the search for movies or any information of interest on the Internet, you should know that when sending a voice request, the system will also respond in voice, duplicating what was written. The platform itself works smoothly and quite quickly. In addition, developers are constantly improving it, but you still cannot use the Android operating system without applications.

Applications
Digital TV
When purchasing a modern TV from the DEXP manufacturer, it is first recommended to study the instructions and compatible equipment.
Important to remember! Before setting up digital broadcasting on Smart TV, you need to make sure that the TV supports this option. Often the receiver already has a tuner for transmitting over-the-air broadcasts.
Almost all modern TVs support digital broadcasting, so you don't have to buy anything else.
If the device supports the selected format, you can proceed to search for over-the-air channels. To do this you need to do the following:
- Using the remote control, enter the Smart section.
- Select the "Settings" menu.
- Click OK.
- Find the “Channel” section.
- When asked to select a broadcast, indicate DVB-C.
- Select auto-tuning, which will independently fill in the search information, namely frequency, module, data transfer rate.
- When asking for scan types, select full.
- In the network recognition parameters, we specify automatic.
- To search for TV channels, click on the appropriate section.
Auto search will take some time to find all channels. Over 20 channels will be available for viewing.
Follow the specified algorithm of actions, you can enjoy watching your favorite programs and films in high-quality images. This is how cable TV is set up.
Gaming services
Separately, it is worth noting the porting of games to the Android platform, among the list of which you can find the most popular ones. Fans will appreciate this move, since playing on a large Sony television screen is much more interesting and convenient than on a smartphone.
The Google Play store is structured into thematic areas, including settings, applications, home page and games. The main page contains all the most interesting and new things, including programs, TV series, films and other entertainment, distributed by topic (video, music, news channels, utilities, etc.). The games area is also divided into selections (recommended applications, tops) and genres.
The more apps a user installs, the more they can use. In addition, you should keep in mind that sometimes even when installing a certain program, not all of its functions may be available, which open when installing an additional file.
Google Cast technology will also be very useful, allowing you to broadcast videos from your smartphone directly to the TV screen. It’s very convenient to find interesting things from your mobile device and view them on the big screen.
