EXTRA NETFLIX FILTERS
According to experts at Interesting Engineering, there’s an app that can upgrade how you filter Netflix content.
It’s called the Upflix app and you can get it for Android and iOS devices.
The app is said to provide extra Netflix filters like searching by actor and director.
That should help you find content that suits you quicker.
Be sure to do your research before downloading any new apps to your smart TV.
VOICE CONTROL
A lot of smart TVs have a voice control feature.
That means you can save time typing and just ask the TV to play your most watched shows.
It’s worth checking smart TV remotes to see if they have a specific button you need to press before you say your command.

You may also be able to connect your smart TV to a smart speaker and use voice commands that way.
MAKE USE OF OLD DVDS
If you have a lot of old DVDs laying around the house, you might want to try out another smart TV app.
According to Interesting Engineering, an app called Vudu can help you create a digital library of your old DVDs.
There are two small catches though and one of them will cost you.
The app is only available in the US and Mexico for people using Vudu-supported smart TV.
Users need to access the Vudu disc to digital service to scan DVD’s UPC code.
Each DVD you upload can cost a few bucks but it does mean that you can give away the old DVDs you can no longer use when you’re done.
