their favorite shows and movies. Apps like YouTubeTV, Hulu, AppleTV, Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime, etc, can be downloaded for free to most Smart TVs. Each guest can access the apps using their own login. This is referred to as streaming. By utilizing a TV that allows streaming, a guest can experience the same at-home tv experience while on vacation.
This all works because the Smart TV is connected to the internet via wifi or modem. Although local cable is still accessible through the cable tv and internet provider, all of the streaming apps on the Smart TV rely on the internet. Currently, Sunset Resort Rentals still offers local cable in all of our properties, though streaming is becoming more and more popular.
