These media streaming devices will enhance your TV watching experience in no time. (Representational) Not everyone likes their OTT on the smaller screen. Sometimes, it’s the bigger screen on your smart TV that does justice to your entertainment needs. However, what If you don’t have a smart TV and a regular TV? Thanks to streaming devices like Google Chromecast, you needn’t upgrade to a smart TV just yet.
Media streaming devices come in handy when you need to bring OTT support to older TVs, and they’re much cheaper than buying a new TV entirely. Here are the best media streaming devices you can get in India.
