"How can I tell if my device is compatible with the service?
If the device is connected to the internet and the red ‘Encore’ logo appears on channel 82 then you can connect. Unfortunately, some older TVs can connect to the internet but don’t run the right technology to be compatible. If you are a real tech guru then you need to find out if your TV is HbbTV compatible, which is the technology used to launch the service. Also, some TVs come with a sticker that says “Freeview Play Ready”,
which means it is definitely able to connect to Encore."
A simple way of telling whether it will work by whether it's new enough to have the Play branding.
Saves confusing people with tech jargon unnecessarily. Other TVs will support it, it's just more difficult to convey it.
