This information only applies to the United States (with the exception of the BBC iPlayer app, which is exclusive to the UK). It encompasses what we consider the top 75 or so entertainment apps across a variety of categories and all of the major living room streaming platforms, aside from Smart TVs and game consoles. To help spell out exactly what's available on what box, stick or dongle (and how you can get it) we maintain a big chart. Even then you may have to resort to screen mirroring, or a favorite app might not be available at all. This feature, known as AirPlay on Apple Devices and Google Cast on the Chromecast and Android TV devices, covers most of the major omissions. You'll have to use your phone, tablet or computer to get some apps onto the big screen via some devices. Beyond major new apps, there are other holes in coverage.
