kcmrlitz Posted June 23, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Well I have everything connected and my remote works to change the input but this message will not go away. Anyone had success fixing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 23, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Is there another HDMI port to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perditax Posted June 24, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Did a little googling. What happens if you plug the ship Ethernet back in? It sounds like it’s some service on the “smart” tv that’s not happy about not having a network connection. If the message stays on the screen after you put the tv back the way you found it, I’d put in a service call. (I’ve only been on Oasis, don’t remember having a problem using alternate HDMI port, brought my own universal remote.)

Ashland Posted June 24, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) We have been able to use our Firestick to watch Netflix & Amazon...but one time on Freedom had problems due to the interactive TV. Our cabin steward got in touch with an onboard electrician and he ended up switching out the TV for us...his idea as we would never have asked or expected them to do this. We were just on Vision and had no problem at all but this ship has no interactive TV. Please come back and let us know how this was solved for you on HOTS...we'll be on there in May and certainly want to use our Firestick.

Rare bobmacliberty Posted June 24, 2019 #8 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Did you try verifying your widget solution? Sorry...too easy. You may need to get maintenance involved. This guy sounds like he knows what he's doing, but then so do many people on the Internet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even power cycled both ways as well. I may ask the steward to see if he has a solution but all of this may be by design. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoope Posted June 24, 2019 #11 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Does anyone know what the connection is on the TVs on Allure? Is it the same as Harmony. I connect my external device on Harmony using the remote and HDMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bobmacliberty Posted June 24, 2019 #12 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I found that a remote is not needed...at least on the Samsung TVs on Freedom. There's a little joystick on the back lower right corner that normally controls power, volume, and channels. If you disconnect the ship's feed from the back of the TV and then power back on, the joystick functions will change. One of the options is source input, so you can use the joystick to change to the HDMI input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
