Thinking about upgrading the bulkhead tv and have heard talk about using a "Smart TV" that also has a built in digital tuner for OTA channels and has some built in apps that would allow for "streaming" movies, sports, etc. Still have the old analog LG tv and reception wasn't very good back in the analog days. When OTA went digital, added a converter box and still not much reception. Back around 2012, started service with Dish Network (they installed an dish antenna on the dock and provided their own "cable box"). This has worked ok, but over time their selection of basic packages has gone down and the price has jumped. So, I'm about ready to dump the dish as it's not worth the money for something that may get used a few hours a month. Just watch some news, and college football in the fall.
The marina does now have wifi, ad they are supposed to be performing a speed check in the next couple of days. Mfg (Vizio) suggests a minimum of 10 mbp/s - sound about right?
Currently looking at the Vizio D32F-F1 as a replacement but this may be a struggle as it is about 4" wider than the current surround on the existing TV.
Any words of wisdom, advice, etc from anyone who has "been there - done that" would be welcomed - no need to reinvent the wheel!
