Avtex & mobile phone hotspot

[Ginge tourer]

Hi I have just found out from Facebook that apparently the Avtex TVs don’t connect to a mobile phone hotspot? I have just upped my phone data to unlimited in order to connect this way Is this correct and if so do any of the other makes connect via mobile hot spot? I know fire stick is an alternative but I’ve committed to the phone route now but still have time to cancel the Avtex!

Hi.

I have just switched on our Avtex tv to check for you (Avtex L219 DRS PRO).

The tv receives its images via a physical connection only (aerial/satellite/HDMI/USB). There is no ability to connect with wifi.

Your unlimited internet is not wasted if you use a Firestick, as you already know.
We spend a lot of time abroad and use a Firestick exclusively then. When in the UK, the tv aerial does the job.

If you want to watch anything via the Internet, then I think your only option is to buy a Firestick or similar. I am sure others will advise if this is not the case.

As an aside, we are very happy with our TV but would recommend listening to it via a sound bar.

Hope this helps.

Have you ordered one of the 'wifi' Avtex ones or just a standard model? You need a 'Connected TV' model in order to use your phone's wifi connection, it's all in the manuals for these models and appears easy to do.

As long as you have a USB port on the telly you can put a fire stick in and connect to your phone.

Fire sticks connect to the TV with HDMI and are powered by USB. TV does not have to have a USB, that can be anywhere with a long enough lead

I don't know the specs of your M/home but if you have an android head unit their is a possibility that you can connect to that or even as in my case introduce a sim card directly.

Sorry my bad should have read HDMI which I think most Avtex TVs have well our does anyway

What model Avtex Tv are you planning on getting

It has to be a connected model to use a wifi signal

ThAnks all for the replies. We are getting the connected version and having rechecked Facebook it would appear the author was trying to connect a pro which won’t allow it! Hopefully panic over!
