Cut the Cord: Run XOGO on a Smart TV
A smart TV is one that can connect to the Internet, generally in order to stream content from apps like Netflix or HBO. They have an internal computer called an SOC (system-on-a-chip), and typically connect to an app store where applications like XOGO Player can be downloaded for free. Smart TVs are fantastic for digital signage, for a number of reasons.
