I'm guessing the gizmo on order is an HDMI converter to plug into his not-so-smart TV or ancient recording device.

I figured it was a splitter for an extra hdmi port.

How many yachts can you ski behind Mr. Gecko?O Really wrote: Thu Sep 02, 2021 9:40 pm Our coach has 4 TV's (yeah, I know), a 60" "main" TV, a 32" in the bedroom and above the windshield, and a 32" outside, that has its own DVD player/radio connected. Input can be from satellite, on-air, cable, DVD, ROKU, computer. There's a central network control box that can direct a particular input to each of the TV's, so you could watch ROKU on one, satellite on another, and a DVD on another. Output is to an 8-speaker surround sound system. Some of the set-up is wireless, but most is cabled. The back of the network control box looks a lot like the picture up there.
Have we ever seen pics?

I will neither confirm nor deny all these entertaining speculations.
Once I receive the gizmo, install it, and determine if it will work or not, I may or may not so update the record here.
Until then, please do carry on with whatever it is you've doing.

Uhhhh, I don't know, man. "Once I get the gizmo" doesn't sound like the foundation of a sound plan. I'd be careful about all this.

Nor should anyone else be worried.
Worst case, I'm out, what, $15. $40 including the Roku thingie. So what?
YMMV

Well sure - it looks like that now, but it wasn't always so fancy. Here's the "before" version.

That does look like a great lifestyle choice and a great way to see the country.
If you've got any others like interior shots and such you'd be willing to share love to see them.

Well, received the gizmo today.
I suspect it will not work. We'll see. It was not listed properly.

Somebody, and it might have been I, said you can't successfully connect a roku to an ancient vcr. We'll see.
