What is streaming?
Streaming is viewing or listening to video or audio content that is sent over the
Internet, or located on a network-connected media server or on a USB device
plugged into the TV’s USB port.
With streaming, you can buy or rent most programs on demand, when it’s convenient
for you. When streaming, you can play, pause, rewind, and fast forward most of what
you are watching. You can also replay the last few seconds again, or turn on closed
captions.
Tip
:
Some content cannot be paused or skipped. For example, if you are viewing live
programming or a program that is supported by ads, you might not be allowed to
skip the ads.
