We got a flatscreen Samsung tv for Christmas. Now we want to stream video from the internet to the TV. How do we do this? Is there a magic box that I have to get?

If it is not a smart TV I would get a FireStick.

I would recommend a Roku

It would also help to know what shows you're expecting to stream. 

Local stations, like CBS, FOX, etc generally require am over the air antenna which does not connect to the internet
