Nowhere near enough dedicated apps, Extensive reliance on open internet doesn't make for a comfortable user experience, Current firmware is buggy
If you want to introduce online functionality to an old, non-Smart TV, then we guess you could consider the Google TV box. If you do though, be prepared for a very steep learning curve, not to mention an awful lot of frustrations created by the combinatio...
