We have sailed on the Discovery three times now.  Twice, we could not figure out how to get the TV to connect to our laptop and iPad.  We just disembarked the Discovery Princess, our third trip, yesterday, April 26th, 2023.  Thanks to the person who posted the TV remote from Amazon!  I purchased this remove and brought it with us on our voyage.  My boyfriend sorted how to do it easily.  I then made the video below to help others.  Enjoy!

You will need the remote and the HDMI cable.  

 

 

Thanks for this!   The other ships in that class have a toggle button on the bottom of the TV to change inputs, but when we travelled on the Discovery last year we noticed they didn't have one on the new LG sets!  Our cabin steward tried to get us a remote that worked, but the IT dept. was very wary about helping anyone crack the system....this solution is great!  It also helps on the other Royal class ships so you don't have to get out of bed to reconnect !  (we found the live cam had a tendency to disconnect now and then)

There is an HDMI but the issue is being able to access the "input" menu to switch the TV over to it.  We weren't able to do it on the Discovery Princess.  The other royal class ships we have been on have a trick that yourl can use a toggle button on the bottom of the TV while you are watching the shipcam channel (this was the case on the regal and sky), but the Discovery is the newest ship and they used different TVs.
