Firestick/Roku etc- multi TVs

[Ihavenojob]

Anyone using Firestick or similar with multi TVs, do you have one per TV or do you plug it in to the relevant TV as you watch?

You can do that.

My tip would be to buy enough hmdi leads, so that each telly has one (for the firestick), and leave them plugged into each telly.

Logic being:

- saves you having to firk around the back or side of each telly, every time you want to plug the firestick in

- repeated plugging / unplugging of the stick directly into the telly runs the risk (however unlikely) of damaging its hdmi port.
By using the hdmi lead as a sacrificial part, this negates that risk.
I'd rather risk (and replace) a cheap hdmi lead, than a telly.

They'd need to be M/F leads.

Buy 1 per TV.

How many TV's have you got?
