Which is the actual app… There are so many versions on play store……
Two questions- Can anyone tell me whether I have a smart TV or not? The model no. is KDL-42W670A. If it’s not then what exactly do I need to purchase to make it a smart tv? I mean the lowest cost option. And secondly, does that Thop tv contain all thg Bengali channels?

Yes that’s right Thop TV is great all channels, one can try Kodi app too that has all the channels. Instructions to side load on Fire TV stick https://troypoint.com/how-to-install-kodi-on-fi...
Oreo tv is also great for live TV channels
Infact, Thop Tv cam be installed on your phone as well and you can cast content using a casting App. So effectively don’t need a fire stick as well.

Nice. I am using it … Its much better than SD similar or comparable to HD quality. Haven’t tried 4k content.
Where do I find 4k content ?

Where are you seeing this ?

Let me break down the math for you.
The bit rate for streaming a 4K video goes to a worse of 8000 kbps to a best of 16000 kbps and is maintained at around 14000 to be called a good 4K steam.
Considering the average of 14000 kbps it means you need to have a broadband line speed of at least 14 Mbps, even in worst case scenario of 8000 kbps you need to have a broadband line speed of 8Mbps to stream without buffering pauses.
It doesn’t depend on what google or amazon or what ever website support is over here, we are talking about limitation of your line speed and not the website capability.
