TV manufacturers have done a really nice job, but this is handled so much better and upgradable via set top boxes(satellite and cable). When you are watching TV then want to switch to one of the tv's services you must switch inputs unless you are OTA. With set top boxes you are usually brought right there. Also with set top boxes it is easier to upgrade services, When I bought my TV and set top box, youtube was not offered on either. It is now offered on my set top box with no physical hardware upgrade. It will never be available for my TV.
