I can't tell you what programs you will receive in Poland, but I can tell you a bit about a Samsung smart TV. First of all the older the model, the more basic the internet service will be. This years models will have an E in their model number. Last years D and the year before C. If you can't "hard wire it to your router, then you will need to buy a wireless dongle and they're not cheap at £50 UK. Only the same brand of dongle works with the same brand TV.

The film sites seem to have movies 3 or 4 years old and of course there is a monthly subscription. The good thing is you can play film files from your PC straight to your TV and the Samsung TV's also have a great picture too.

Still laptop with HDMI wins. You can use convenient wireless keyboard, mouse, WiFi connection and play .rmvb files.

We are linking up in the UK with this company andrino.pl. Android based TV and quite an interesting concept to be honest when they upgrade to 4.0 then this will allow HD content over the net, and this will also have proper access to the internet as most smart TV's are crap at this as far as the internet is concerned.
