An OTT (Over-The-Top) box, also known as a streaming box or streaming device, is a separate device that connects to a regular TV to enable smart TV-like functionality. OTT boxes are typically small devices that relate to the TV via HDMI and provide access to various streaming services, apps, and online content. They usually run on their operating systems and come with their app stores.

Google offers a streaming device called the Chromecast with Google TV, which combines the functionality of an OTT box with the Google TV platform. It connects to the TV and allows users to stream content from various apps and services, control the TV with Google Assistant, and benefit from the Google TV interface and features. The Chromecast with Google TV is a popular option for users who want to upgrade their non-smart TVs to an intelligent TV-like experience.

Is Google TV free on smart TV
Google TV itself is a free platform provided by Google. However, the availability of free content and apps on Google TV varies. Some apps and content may require a subscription or may include in-app purchases. For example, streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, or Disney+ require separate subscriptions to access their content on Google TV.
While Google TV offers a range of free apps and services, it also provides access to premium content that may come with a cost. It’s important to note that the cost of accessing content on Google TV is typically determined by the individual app or service providers rather than Google itself.
