All hooked up to the internet..and it's working fine.

My question is..Im trying to watch the football on a saturday afternoon via a live stream but it just wont work.

Is a smart tv equiped to do this..or am I just missing something

The tv is a Philips 4000 series Smart LED TV (47") Full HD 1080p DVB-T2/C with Pixel Plus HD

model number......47PFL4047T/12

Thanks

Is the live stream wrapped in a browser or do you have a specific philips app for it?

I just enter the site in to google and go on the site from there

Sounds like you need flash or silverlight, neither of which are supported by the browser. There will be a list of browser limitations in the manual. Mine lists over 25.

Smart TVs have very limited web browsing

yea, very disappointing and cant replace a PC.
Connect the pc to the tv with an hdmi cable for best of both worlds,
+ use a wireless keyboard with built in trackpad to control it.


on a side note, TV's with gesture control - I guess that if you view a Sky/Freesat/Cable box then the gestures for channel change, as well as in channel on demand is useless (you need to use the box specific remote control). In built gesture control on the tv would only control these features through the built in freeview tuner. Only gesture controls for pic settings, volume, etc would remain intact when using a Sky/freesat/cable box.
Is this right?
Bit pointless if that's the case.

Well that lost me
