“What's the difference between a smart and a streaming dvd player?”

1-5 of 5 Answers

• In some aspects these terms mean the same thing. "Streaming" refers to the ability to watch content that is downloaded via an internet connection on the TV that the DVD player is connected to. Examples include Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu, etc. To do so the DVD device will have either or both wireless and Ethernet connectivity to your home network (required). "Smart" means that the player has built-in applications or software that enable the connections to the above-listed online providers. Through the "apps" in the "smart" DVD player you can "stream" online content.
