Absolutely useless. Just spent the last hour and a half trying to watch a video on Daily Motion via SMART TV and failed epically. Web browser is slow, search function is totally useless etc. If it's function is to make me put my size 10's through the flat screen then they very nearly succeeded.

Though I have to say, iPlayer via Smart TV works quite nicely.
As does ITV Player, 4oD and Demand 5.
If you insist on non smart TV's you limit yourself to the bargain basement area !
However a specfic app is fine. I have used iPlayer, itvplayer and 4od with success.
Right now, I use games consoles to access "smart" functions. While you forgo the convenience, they are much more powerful thus giving a slicker experience.
One day, that kind of power will be built into the TV, which is when Smart TV can start to live up to its potential, although competition from various plug-in boxes is set to be high
A set top box add on would be better especially if it was upgradable.
Everyone would have a different experience.
Sounds like you need lessons on setting it up properly.
