I can’t seem to figure out how to connect the onboard TVs to Starlink Wi-Fi. I thought I should be able to see it as an option when selecting HDMI similarly to using Bluetooth. I assume it is something simple that I’m missing.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
 
Depends on the TV, if it's one of the old majestic models or Jensen Marine then it's not a smart TV and doesn't have Wi-Fi or the ability to natively run apps. Easiest solution is to just plug in a streaming dongle such as a fire stick, roku, Apple TV, etc. and that device is what gets connected to the starlink WiFi and just setup the included remote to control the TV power/volume/input and fully disregard the old tv remote.
 
I second the recommendation of adding a Roku or similar device. We did it on a “dumb” TV at home and it works like a charm. We did the same on our 2023 R27 and use Starlink.
