Samsung manufactures a range of Internet-equipped TV sets, which can access a host of different online services using dedicated apps. A selection of apps -- often referred to as widgets -- are built-into Samsung's connected TVs, and you can add more apps as they are released by visiting the online Internet@TV service hosted and run by Samsung. The BBC released an iPlayer app for Samsung's connected TVs that allows you to access seven days' worth of BBC TV programming on demand.
