Most of the modern Smart TV’s come with the android system installed in them. Android TV is just an operating system which is installed in the Smart TV’s. This operating system is based basically on the same code which is used in the smartphones but instead of a smartphone’s user interface it consist of a redesigned custom interface which makes it easier to be used on a big screen TV with the help of a remote control.

Google has made it possible to use around 1.5 million and plus apps to run on chrome OS and yes you can use many of them if not all but let’s first talk about if it really worth the try.
