sorted byAs for making it smart - Just buy this Roku Express device for less than £20.

That will give you all the usual apps you might expect for catch-up shows as well as the on demand players like Netflix, Disney+ etc.
Apart from that it been ok.
PS I use a NowTV stick for the smart stuff.
I bought it new many years ago and I will be keeping it until it goes beyond economic repair.
At the same time I bought a Panasonic Theatre system which means sound is delivered through 5 speakers and a sub-woofer. Frankly, this model Panasonic is pants as far as sound is concerned without something to supplement. I can get all the HD channels and will continue to do so when the forthcoming changes take place.
I attached a Google Chromecast to make it a little smarter. As well as the extra channels it means I can cast stuff from other devices in the property.
I also have a multi-region dvd player attached which works fine. There is even a Humax PVR attached which is rarely used these days but this does have a facility to act as a server meaning I can transfer media files from a device to store and subsequently play whenever.
