We're getting ready to purchase smart TVs for some of our classrooms. I'd like to have Digital Signage show our announcement loop. We've used a Firestick on our lobby TV but I've found it to be getting more glitchy over time. If our smart TVs have a browser, will that work well with the signage feed or not? Edited: Justs adding it would be nice to not have to have buy extra Firesticks and then have multiple remotes to keep track of.

    Try restarting the FS. Should help with the glitchy(ness).

    yes, you can display the signage on your smart tv. You might want to see if you can plug a USB keyboard in to type in the url. You can also shorten the URL first with something like our shortener here https://flshare.net/ or bit.ly. That way you have less to type. Then if you can set it as the homepage it will come up automatically in the future when you open your browser on the TV
