How to Turn Your Old Tablet That You No Longer Use Into a Portable Smart TV That You Can Use Anywhere
Chances are you have an old tablet at home that you don't use and is stored in a drawer. If that's the case, you're losing it.
Old devices can be used for many functions and thus save a good amount of money. For example, it is possible to use an old smartphone as a Wi-Fi repeater or do the same with a router that you lost at home.
Today it's time to focus on turning your old tablet into a fully functional smart TV.
Power doesn't matter, dimensions don't matter, the only thing you should have on hand is your old tablet and an app that you can install directly from Google Play.
Logically, the better the tablet's performance, the better the experience. That means a bigger screen and longer battery life can take everything up a notch.
As for apps, there are a lot of them in the Google Play Store, but one of the most interesting is ATV Launcher.
The main reasons, besides the fact that the app is completely free, are how well it mimics the Android TV interface.
In addition, it has many customization options such as the ability to change the background, distribute applications according to the user's taste to customize the grid, modify the size of the icons you see on the screen or even add user interface elements.
The best part? The process couldn't be easier: just open the launcher to activate TV mode on your tablet, download the streaming service apps you've subscribed to (Netflix, HBO, AtresPlayer, Dazn, whatever) and start enjoying your tablet-turned-Smart TV.
