If you are wondering how to convert a normal TV to smart TV, we have just the device for you! Simply remove your old DTH HD box and plug in a smart TV box instead. Switch your TV on and watch the magic unfold.

How does an Android Box work?

An Android box is a set-top box. Just like one uses a DTH set-top box to watch regular network channels on their TV, an Android set-top box assists in streaming OTT platforms on your normal TV.

A regular TV doesn’t have OTT apps inbuilt into its system. The Android box when connected to your normal TV makes it compatible to support for these OTT apps. The box can also be connected to wifi or an ethernet internet connection to stream online content on the TV.

Using a good Android box, you can convert the TV to a smart one that supports 4K video quality and OTT platforms.
