I have a samsung tv which has inbuilt freeview.  Can i purchase anything that will allow me to access the internet/wifi on this tv?
Thanks

What do you want to do exactly?  Watch TV over the internet/wifi and if so, which channels?  Or browse the internet?   PS. what's the exact model number of the samsung.

The model of TV is Samsung V32F390FEX.  I would like to browse the internet.   Thanks

That's just a TV with USB playback ability.  It has no ability to go on the internet.

If you want the access to the catch-up resources it'll have to be something like a Firestick or a Roku.  The former does have a web browser in it (the so-called Silk Browser) but realistically these things are quite fiddly to do any serious internet stuff on it.  It will double up as a monitor though so you could just use a small computer (or maybe a Pi) and hook it up via HDMI, then control it with a wireless keyboard and mouse.

Thank you that is very helpful. I will nip that idea in the bud.

Just get yourself a tablet if you want to get on the internet.
