YouTube TV on Older (Not So Smart) Samsung TVs

It so happens that as of 2017, YouTube and Samsung came into an agreement to make the YouTube app no longer available for Samsung Smart TVs created 2011 -2012.

Therefore, if your Samsung TV was created at that time (2011-2012), you won’t have access to YouTube on it. But that isn’t the end of the road for you; all you need to do is get a device like an Android TV Box (e.g., Xiaomi Mi Box S) or purchase a Chromecast, and you instantly turn your aged LCD Television to a Smart TV.
