Smart TV's

We are also big fans of the shows Netflix is producing on their own. Nothing on network TV has captured our attention like 'Orange is the New Black" and "House of Cards."

You are doing the right thing with having streaming boxes and a DVR .

The software that smart TV's are using will get dumber and dumber as time goes by. Lack of updates and compatibilities will be a nightmare for the average user.
Get a good TV and a well known set-top box for streaming and forget about the smart TV. They have more polished interfaces and good mobile apps so you can control them from your smartphone or tablet.
