More and more people are discovering the world of live streaming: sports, concerts and even friendly online events are now just a click away. But why limit yourself to the small screen when you have your smart TV?

If you're one of those who want to enjoy the experience in TV-quality in your living room, you've come to the right place! We've brought you a simple, helpful guide to turning streaming into a real cinema experience.

Step one: smart TV is the key

Before you get started, make sure your TV is connected to the internet. You can easily do this in the settings menu, where you need to select Wi-Fi connection. If you see a green tick next to the network name, you've got a winner!

How do you access your YouTube stream instantly?

Most smart TVs come with an app store. To watch, for example, the Nyíregyháza Open World Athletics Championships, you'll need YouTube. Open the home screen of your smart TV, where you'll find a row of app icons. Find the YouTube app and click on it.
Use the search function to type in the name of the live stream, press play, and sit back - the live show is ready!

How can you achieve "TV show quality"?

  • Adjust the picture quality. If you have a soundbar or home theatre system, now is the time to turn it on!
  • The sound effects of a live concert or sports broadcast will complete the experience.

Common mistakes and solutions

  • "The stream is lagging!" Check your internet connection: if possible, use your TV with a cable internet connection.
  • "No sound on TV." Check if the speaker on your phone or tablet is not active. This often needs to be manually adjusted when mirroring.
  • "I can't find the app in the store." Check that your TV's software is up to date. You can do this in the "Check for updates" menu.

Alternative solution: screen mirroring

Don't feel like installing apps? No problem! Modern "smart TVs" and mobiles work together almost magically. Open the stream on your phone or tablet. Activate the screen mirroring feature, select your smart TV from the list and you're ready to watch in the big screen!

And finally...

If you follow these steps, you're guaranteed to forget you ever watched your streams on a small screen. Enjoy quality entertainment from the comfort of your living room! After all, what else is a smart TV for if not this?
