   Does your TV have a USB port?

   I am a novice to smart TV, but from what I have read 5 Mbps is about the   
   minimum for low resolution moves, but that would probably be acceptable   
   for TV shows.

   If you can get Netflix through the play station, you may be able to   
   access the net and get to the several free, or nominal cost sites.   
      
      
   I don't know about your area but I have found there are quite a lot of   
   material available on the local Public TV website.   
      
   As for Broadcast TV, you may wish to check this site:   
      
   https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps   
      
   This will give you an idea of the station available in your area.  Many   
   broadcast TV station have one primary and several secondary channels.  I   
   consider them point channels as the are 5.0, 5.2;  17.1, 17.2, 17.3,   
   17.4; etc.   In my area there are five primary channel, and with the   
   secondary channel there are a total of about 16 channels to choose from.   
      
   You may also consider and amplified antenna.  Use the information from   
   the above site to determine the amplification you need for your area.
