Amazon Firestick - how do we use it?

[bpaikman]

Daughter gave us a firestick for our RV, but the TV is firmly mounted in the corner, and I can't see how to access anything on it. There's some electronic stuff above the driver's seat - we're not big TV watchers, can you tell? . But she's so proud of herself - any idea how I can use it?

Firestick gets plugged in a vacant HDMI receptacle at the back of the TV. Also it need 110V plug for power.
To watch it, you should change the input selection with your TV remote control.
These are the basics.

Well, we can't reach the back of this tv.

Some TVs have hdmi inputs along one of the edges.

Newmar typically has your HDMI ports connected already and a port is inside a cabinet that you actually plug into. Open cabinet doors and look for ports on the walls.

I have used this HDMI switch with success. If you don’t have an open HDMI port.

The TV is likely mounted to a wood panel with screws you can access on the side. Screws should be top and bottom on each side. Remove the screws to access the back or the TV. If you need more HDMI space the switch I posted works great with the fire stick. Mine works plugged into the switch. The fire stick is great, you will need to subscribe to the programming of your choice that you can access with the stick.
