shark with a laser Posted January 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Greetings! We will be traveling in a 2 br family suite on Dawn. Do the TVs or DVD players have USB inputs? If so, has anyone had any luck playing video from a thumb drive? Any file formats that were problematic? Are there DVD players attached to the bedroom TVs or just the living room?

AlexandNessa Posted January 22, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2017 My husband tried to airplay downloaded movies on his iPad, but was not successful. I'll ask him for further details later. This was December on the Dawn in an OS. I don't recall any DVD players, either in the bedroom or living room. You can "rent" (for free) movies On Demand.

AlexandNessa Posted January 23, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Ok, got the lowdown from hubby. He says that the TVs have both HDMI and USB ports; however, there is no way to change the input/source. He recommends that if you have a Samsung TV at home, bring along the remote to see if that'll work changing the input. When he hooked into the TV, the input did not automatically change.

AlexandNessa Posted January 23, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Welcome! LMK if you bring a Samsung remote and it works. If it doesn't, that's one less thing for him pack on our next cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I know this is not what you are asking, but one of the suite perks (not listed on NCL's site) is that you get free On Demand videos. We used that option several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenEyedGirlie Posted January 25, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 25, 2017 You could also try using a remote app on your phone depending on the model. My Samsung Note 4 has IR blaster (remote) capability with the built in Peel app. Good luck! We sail the Dawn 2/5! Thank you!

fredflint Posted January 26, 2017 #12 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I have heard of people buying a generic universal remote. I just unplug the HDMI cable and plug in the HDMI adapter I have for my Android phone and ipad to watch downloaded movies or to stream. I am probably going to bring a 2 port HDMI switch I have on our next cruise as it is 13 nights and I have heard the TV options are not very good.
