Will this effectively change a reulart flat screen to a "smart" tv?

It will allow you to get digital content through the DirecTV offerings, which I believe includes some "Smart TV" programming, but I am not sure because we actually have a "Smart TV" already and use its features over the DirecTV alternatives. This unit allows us to view Cinema on Demand titles and alternative digital network programming (e.g. previous series' episodes) on the DirecTV channels that support it.

It will allow you to use the content in the menu section of the receiver such as YouTube and few other apps.

I assume that it will,there is no reason that it shouldn`t. But you are missing out on a free HD signal that your antenna . I recently purchased a flat screen HD tv at a pawn shop for less that $100.

Yes it does as long as u have basic setup like red and yellow plugs for video on your flat screen. If not then it won't work

Sure can! Some flat screens have digital data optical outs, that's the best way to take full advantage of the A-5VL.

I'm not a techy but my gut feeling is no. On the back of my 2012 Samsung Smart TV there is a special setup for attaching and plugging in the evolution unit which I doubt Sharp has. To double check on the capability of this unit -- I would contact either Sharp or Samsung. Hope this helps.

I don't know whether it will work with your model. I can say that I don't have a smart TV and it worked with mine.

Yes. The toughest task is programming your tv to be compatible . I have 1 TV that I have to call product support. Others the manual is enough.

Hi Ernest, Most Smart TV's have proprietary interfaces. Even though it may be Bluetooth or regular RF the Remote that comes with the unit probably is smart meaning has more software than is standard for HID compatibility. It is probably the same for your Home Theater. Some of the features can be programmed automatically in our KP-810-18R but because of the multiple options of a Home Theater device we would not be able to support all of your keys on the remote. I am certain that no other keyboard can provide the solution you are looking for either. Regards Tech Support

I have no idea. This is a pretty basic TV that I purchased for my 90 year old mother. I don't believe it has Smart Technology.

Yes,... well more than likely. Most flat screens should work. Look to see if your TV has a headphone jack, some do. If not, check the back or side of your TV for a set of red and white connections labeled Audio Out. If they're there, use a breakout cable to make the 3.5mm connector "adapt" to the red and white RCA.... search "3.5mm to RCA Stereo Breakout" Make sure you pick up the correct length for your application. You'll need one that is female 3.5mm to male RCA. If you get confused by male and female, take a second look at which connection plugs into the other. You'll figure it out :P Yes,... well more than likely. Most flat screens should work. Look to see if your TV has a headphone jack, some do.

If you have internet, yes. It isn't difficult, however, smart TV's tend to be slow to react to user inputs, so be prepared to go slow when you make keyed entries from your remote. Your TV will have to have WIFI built in, or a wireless hub, (you will have to have wireless router to use either wireless configuration, of course) or a dedicated CAT-5 or higher cable directly connected to the TV internet connect port from a standard router or modem. You can switch the TV to internet using menu features and then navigate with key controls, once you have established your internet connection on the TV.

Yes, but you will have to change the TV's source to this boxes' HDMI number(plugged into TV) using your remote.

Yes, it will convert the digital output from your TV to optical output. If your receiver accepts optical input, you have it made.

No, it probably won't for a few reasons. One, this will require drivers that your television PROBABLY can't support. Two, the USB on most TVs is usually, but not always, for factory diagnostics and loading of firmware.

We have a smart TV and it works for basic functions-- it'll be tough to access the home screen with all your apps though.

Yes, just make sure to select the corresponding TV input source (i.e. HDMI 1, 2, etc) as marked at the input slot on the tv.
