    its not one size fits all but i grew up with only terrestrial/freeview and most the shows had strong moral messaging (even if it was subdued) about how to treat others, respecting differences etc, whereas USian stuff was a lot more based around consumption and celeb culture

    @yagiznizipli I’d say look for what features it says it supports. In the UK, I’d be looking for: - Freeview Play certification, for hybrid broadcast + broadband - DIAL support, for casting YouTube videos from phone - Some good (possibly native) branded apps included - Responsive UI - No ads
