i plug my Fire stick or Apple TV in there and all is well

The new models with the Matrix have that. The Classics like Lynn's we had to find the "best" location for the floorplan. On mine it was unplugging the Sat box HDMI cable and plugging the Firestick in with the adapter.. That was the easiest to get to for me.

If I wanted it permanently mounted where I could change with the remote, getting one of the TV HDMI ports will be required. They did not make the Classic HDMI ports easy to get to, but that was the days before add on streaming boxes. How things have changed in just a couple of years.

I apple tv to the hdmi all plug as well and leave it in the cabinet below the main tv. The remote will work through out the coach even with the external tv.

My skinny armed DW was able to fish it in from the bottom. As so.eone said, it will take patience to get it in just the right position. We found that taking a picture helped orient her before trying to plug it in.

I meant to say the TV remote changing HDMI ports for the Apple TV or Sat without unplugging HDMI cables. The remote for the device would work anywhere, but to change devices, it was manual for my setup. If I would have kept the MH, the Firestick would have gone in HDMI 3 on the TV.

My coach has a Televator and recently going up and down with the TV
i got the wires snagged on something and unpluged the power supply
for the cat5 to Hdmi convertor.

the solution was lower the tv remove the window screen open the window all the way. raise the tv to the 3/4 up level and standing on a ladder outside the coach you can reach thur the window to all the
HDMI inputs and Ac plugs and the rear of the plugs

here is that panel in my Anthem located with the Sat box
currently i have my Amazon Firestick plugged in.
sometimes i alternate with my Apple TV using same outlet.
if you wanted to select the Apple Tv with the Matrix use the port labeled
input to matrix and select acc on the matrix remote

for me it was easier to just select HDMI 2 on the TV is self.

Our '17 44b has a soundbar under the TV, it is velcroed on. Peel it off and move it out of the way.
I used a makeup mirror from the top and a flashlight from the bottom to find it, then reached in with my right hand and plugged it in.

I did it the same exact way!

Ok, I’ve just about given up and will take the Apple TV to our S&B in Nola. My arm will not go under the tv nor to the side. I can’t reach the right place from the top. There is already something connected to the out to all TVs space. Have no idea what as there are many, many tangled wires in there so I couldn’t follow it.

Lynn, you can unplug that HDMI cable in your photo and plug the Apple TV in that slot. It will play on all TV's in place of the Satellite. Plug that cable back in for Satellite. On mine, it was easier to reach the end of that cable where it plugged into the Sat receiver.

OR you can get an HDMI multiport box at Best Buy, attach it to the HDMI to all TVs plug and plug the Apple TV, the original plug and two more to it.

Thanks ... I like that idea.....

[brobox]

Good idea Gene, I didn't think of that, wish I would have when I hooked mine up. Just looked, they have them like A B switches, some with remotes, or manual push buttons with LED lights. All on Amazon in the $10. range. Good place to get an idea what would work best. Great tip

Our son gave us an Apple TV for Christmas ... and not only do I have to figure out where to hook it up, I have to figure out how to use it. Getting old is a bit..h!

But not getting old ................

Let us know how it turns out.

If you do pull the tv off there is one small screw at the bottom of the bracket. Remove that screw then tilt the tv up and off. Be VERY careful because the hdmi cable is not long. Once the tv is off the bracket unplug the hdmi cable which usually plugs into the hdmi 1 port

Then it will be really easy to do what you need to do as well as get to the back to clean

I think you’re referring to the front TV not the main TV.
