Furrion outdoor tv
Furrion outdoor tv won't allow roku controller to control the tv. Can the roku remote work with this tv?
Forum Discussion
It is very easy to open the door to access the HDMI ports on the Furrion TV. I mounted the TV with a Furrion outdoor mount and still can access the door & HDMI ports. I was able to easily fit the Roku stick in the sealed door (using the built-in USB port on the TV for power), but had issues with my WiFi signal. I ended up purchasing a 3-foot HDMI extender and have the Roku stick sitting on top of the TV. This helped with the WiFi signal as well as allowed the remote control to function better. I keep the Roku stick plugged in all the time, but the TV is covered underneath my outdoor pavilion, so I don't worry about it getting wet or the sun hitting it directly. I've only had it a few weeks, so not sure if I'll leave it plugged in all Winter.
What did you do about power jmchugh00 ? Did you also have a separate cord you plugged in to an outlet?
I have the ROKU stick in the compartment powered by the USB port.
The Roku stick is plugged into the HDMI port on the back of the TV. The USB port on the back of the TV provides the power for the Roku stick. The Roku stick comes with the USB cable. You run the USB wire from the Roku stick to the USB port on the back of the TV.
jmchugh00 . I meant how do you give the stick power when you are using the 3 foot hdmi extender and the stick is on top of the tv and not in the compartment. Do you also use a usb extender?
The Roku stick came with a USB extender. I initially used that cable and it worked fine. However, I wanted less exposed wires (given this is outdoors), so I just dug out a longer USB cable that I found laying around my house.
