How to connect start on TV?

Samsung Smart TV allows you to use the TV not only to watch TV shows, but also like a computer, installing and launching various applications. In this case, you need to work only with those that are designed to work specifically with a specific pre-installed operating system.

The developers have provided the ability to easily install various standard applications. For Samsung Smart TVs, this procedure can be carried out through Smart Hub.

There are also a large number of programs from third-party developers that are downloaded from various sites.

When choosing them, you need to take into account that full compatibility with the operating system and equipment is not guaranteed. The quality of such applications will not necessarily be at a good level. In some cases, the possibility that applications may contain malicious code cannot be ruled out.

On the other hand, applications from third-party developers significantly expand the functionality of Samsung Smart TV. When selected, they should be downloaded only from sites that the user trusts.

How to find and install a widget on smart TV

Turn on the TV and go to the main menu using the remote control.
Go to the “Network” section and check if the TV is connected to the Internet.
Next, you need to create an account if you don’t already have one. In some devices it is the same for all programs with applications and is called Smart Hub. On other TVs, just look for the Play Market and feel free to go there.

By the way, some manufacturers, in addition to the Play Market, have their own widget stores. So, for example, in Samsung you can find Samsung Apps in the menu, in LG – Game World, and in Sony – Fork Player.

As a login, you must enter your email address, come up with a strong password and click the “Agree with the terms of use” checkbox. After creation, go directly to your account.

If you know the name of the application you are interested in, enter it into the search bar. If you go to the store without a specific purpose, click on the widget that interests you, and a window will open with detailed information about it. If you are satisfied with the program, click the “Upload” or “Download” button.
The download process begins automatically, the downloaded program installs itself, after which a message indicating that the installation is complete is displayed on the screen.
ALL! Let's go into the program and start using it.

Widgets open up a truly limitless world of possibilities for smart TV owners. Each category, based on the purpose of the program, hides thousands of applications for the most demanding tastes. The main menu offers:

Online cinemas for watching TV series and films
Audio players to listen to your favorite artists and new music
Thematic online channels for watching broadcasts of sporting events, fashion shows, educational video programs, etc.
Games of all genres and age groups
Information apps to keep track of the weather, exchange rates, etc.
And many many others…

Sometimes the description of the application may be in English - in this case, you can navigate by screenshots and the number of downloads, as well as the rating formed based on user reviews and ratings.

Before downloading and installing an application, always check the availability of free space in your device memory. If there is not enough free space, you can always delete unused widgets and free up the necessary megabytes. Simply find the “Installed applications” section in the Play Market menu, select the desired program and click the “Delete” button.
