【Haichuan Teahouse】Those inventions that were too advanced and thus phased out – Internet television in 1996
Thread Content
Internet TV was first introduced in 1996, and it quickly became popular through late-night television programs that promoted its internet connectivity features. It is promoted as the next generation of Internet technology. Microsoft considered this to be a major deal, and acquired it in 1997 for nearly $5 billion. But it turned out to be a huge mistake; although it did attract its own followers, it was too immature. The Internet is developing at a rapid pace, with various new technologies such as streaming audio and video, as well as different websites. WebTV could not keep up; by the 21st century, as the number of users declined, Microsoft discontinued this service.
Modern smart TVs allow direct streaming of TV dramas, but many of them require a VIP account
There are different packages available; the lowest package only allows you to watch TV. If you want a more comfortable experience, you need to pay extra
Sometimes I use my phone for screen mirroring; the movies and shows available on many phone apps are quite up-to-date.
Directly to the TV via turbine? ? Is it wireless or wired? Not yet
When the phone and smart TV are on the same WIFI network, screen mirroring can be done directly through a screen mirroring app. Perhaps a casting application needs to be installed on the smart TV, such as “Leboo Casting””
Just open any app video; one that has the word “TV” on it can be streamed
I see; it seems my TV doesn’t have this kind of high-tech feature
If it’s possible to install it on the TV, copy it to a USB drive, plug it into the TV and install it there. My TV doesn’t have this screen-sharing app either; it can be installed directly via the USB drive, and then casting can be done by opening it in the “My Apps” section on the TV.
