So do you need an Aerial for a Smart TV? You don’t strictly need an aerial for a smart TV if you’re content with streaming services<\/strong> like Netflix <\/a>or Amazon Prime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, an aerial allows access to live TV, Freeview<\/a><\/strong>, and channels that aren’t available through streaming platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utilizing both an aerial and internet streaming maximizes your entertainment choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
