Smart TV Hookup
 
All of my televisions date back to before "smart Tv's were invented. My friend just got one for his exercise room and he said he had to take it back because it had no cable connection. My television has the cable come in to the house and is connected to the hi-Def box, which is connected to the HT receiver, which is connected to the TV. I'd like to get a new 4K TV, but I still love my Panasonic Plasmas.

Jack.......I have three 4K smart TV's. Each is connected via HDMI to DirecTV satellite receivers. Each is also connected via HDMI to Oppo UDP-203 4K Blu-ray players. The living room and studio smart TV's are also connected via Ethernet cable to my Internet router. The bedroom smart TV uses WiFi to connect to my router. Everything works perfectly. HDMI and Ethernet connectivity are what you will need.

Dan, that sounds like exactly what I was thinking was his problem. Could you have all your sets connected via WiFi? Was wondering, just in case you run out of slots on your router.

Jack.......Yes, all three smart TV's are WiFi capable. Running out of connections on a router is not an issue. Just add a network switch like the one below.

Thanks Dan. That Netgear box will cover a lot of connections. I may get one anyway to simplify things at the router.
