I think Gianni was referring to actual TV’s which have various smart features built in such as being able to access Netflix, do Skype calls, browse the internet etc. Anyhow, this is what generally is referred to as a smart TV and of course Samsung, Sony, LG, Panasonic and so on all make these things nowadays and often manufacturers make various claims as to how upgradable they are. Especially Samsung claimed that if you buy one of theirs you can upgrade not just the software but in some cases even the hardware I think with a new processor etc. However, I also read recently in connection with CES in Las Vegas that they are now coming out with stuff where even people who bought a TV a year or two ago are left behind and of course now all the rage is ultra high HD or 4K and of course no TV that is just an HD TV can be upgraded to that. I think in the end it will emerge that TV’s become “dummer” again so to speak and that the smarts will be in the set top boxes we use to access the content. This of course makes sense to me since you shouldn’t have to ugrade an entire TV every 3 to 5 years but a $100 to $200 set top box can be much more easily replaced with something newer and more advanced.
Also I think that there are no smart TV’s out there which have any sort of accessibility hence probably the lack of Podcasts since each company does their own thing.
