We want to replace our TV/DVD player for a Smart TV/DVD player. We have 4G Mobile WiFi in the caravan so that in theory we can stream from IPlayer etc and watch Amazon Prime. Does anybody have experience of using a Smart tv in their caravan, and if so is their a make they could recommend?

We thought the Avtex TV looked good, but they are pricey and nowhere can we see if the apps include Netflix and Amazon Prime, whereas we could pick up a Bush from Argos for half the price.

WE have try to alter our TV to a smart tv by using an Amazon Firestick but it will not pair with our TV.

Thank you

Thank you for all replies and tips. We still haven’t come to a decision - tried, and failed, with the Firestick again yesterday. We have plugged it straight into the HDMI on the back of the TV, which informs it is ‘enabled’ but after that, nothing, no online menu on the TV.

Still thinking abut the Avtex, and yes, it isn’t a smart TV so thank you Richandros, but we do have the Firestick which I assume will work with it, if not with our Toshiba.

Anglian,

Are you giving the Firestick a source of power, a usb supply from either a mains adapter or a feed from a usb socket on the tv.
