Title: Getting a second smart TV
Post by: 4D on Sunday, November 29, 2020, 00:58:37
As per the title I'm thinking of getting a second smart tv to go in the bedroom. I am with BT and the box/router is in the lounge. Is the set up of the second TV going to be straightforward? The lounge telly is hardwired into the box, how do I set up the second telly? Going to mainly be for Netflix  and Prime etc. Ta.

I would imagine it will be straigt forward and all you will have to do is put in your wifi password just like you would if you didn't use an Ethernet cable

Surely you would need another box ? Perhaps I'm wrong,   in which case surely BT would supply and fit ?.

You're right he would need another box as I originally thought he was talking about setting the TV up using wifi but he will definitely need another youview box if he wants to mirror the BT TV package

A firestick will do the job as you can stream most stuff nowadays including live TV via the apps. Currently selling the 4k one at £29.99 on Amazon.
