[Electronics-Talk] Accessibility of Live Television Services

[Susan Stanzel]

I have a Samsung smart television. I use spectrum. Which spectrum I can get Netflix and other things. I have an Apple TV. What advantages do I have if I get Netflix and other things through Apple TV? Are there any podcasts or tutorials on Apple TV? Susie Stanzel
