Tried searching but couldn't find anything...Has anyone tried to insert an Amazon Fire Stick in to the LR TV? I can't get back there. Is there another place to plug the Fire Stick? Thank you for any suggestions.

I added it to the unused AUX port on the Matrix and can now switch and watch the firestick content on any TV

We have ours plugged into the “Output to all TV’s” HDMI plug under the main TV. But we haven’t needed to use it on this coach. All the apps are available right on the TV. Only thing I have found that I cannot get on the TV is the Dish Anywhere app for our S&B Dish. We use that for Paramount and to track local weather when tropical storms or hurricanes are around while we are away.

That connection is an extension to the tv hdmi port but easier to get to. Mine had a broken wire at the back side of the connector.

Many thanks to all who responded. We plugged ours into slot on the wall plate in the infotainment center labeled “Output to all TV’s”. Everything appears to be working fine. We have decided to give up our Direct TV service and rely instead on streaming services like Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, CBS All Access and PBS Passport. We believe that these services will allow us to watch all the shows we were watching on Direct TV, but at a considerable monthly savings. Of course that means we need strong reliable Cellular service. We have 2 services, Sprint through FMCA, and Verizon, which is service we use for our phones. Of course neither of these will work in some of the remote areas out west, but it seems increasing like we won't be spending a lot of time in such remote areas and when we do we can either catch up on our reading and maybe even spend more time enjoying what's around us. Anyone else done this?

Regards,

We are on the same page. Figuring over the air tv to fill in some gaps too. Direct tv is just too much for a bunch of crappy tv we don't need.

We have had our coach for over two years. Never hooked up the satellite. We stream Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO and, when we are in an area with really good cellular coverage, Disney Plus. We also have Dish at our S&B and can use Dish Anywhere to catch anything we can’t pick up between the streaming services and locals. It has worked well for us. If we were full time, I would add YouTube TV. I like their unlimited DVR as opposed to Hulu’s limited recordings. Using family share for the streaming really reduces the cost. We share with our sons so our expense is the Dish at the S&B and Disney Plus.
