Estate60045 Posted October 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Does anyone know if the Norwegian Viva cabin TVs are Smart TVs or can you hook up an HDMI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Traveling Man Posted October 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 15, 2023 The V!va is probably arranged the same as the Pr1ma. I can’t be sure about Haven stateroom TVs, but in the regular cabins last year on the Pr1ma it was not possible to connect other devices via HDMI.

Rare mking8288 Posted October 15, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 15, 2023 On newer NCL ships with updated HDTV, the default input signal for interactive video signal, as far as I can tell & seen myself, are via secured ethernet wired cable (Cat 6+) and the monitor will NOT even boot to the menu systems without its customized Linux OS. It's possible to connect via 1 of the several HDMI inputs or even VGA or DP/DVI port, but it's useless. The OS that it runs on, including access to TV channels, Onboard Account and other functions are firmware locked against changes ... and you can't stream or cast, or run Chromecast, etc. Sail and sustain, for y/our (in)convenience ... NCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the inaugural Transatlantic on the Prima last year and I was able to connect my Android TV. Before the cruise I did notice I would need a long HDMI cable and brought along a 15 footer. It worked great and we were able to stream Netflix which made cabin quarantine with corona somewhat better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were on the Pr1ma on the cruise after yours I didn’t try to connect, but heard one the crew members tell someone that it was not possible.

To the point of iConnect providing full refunds to anyone requesting them. (We waited to the last night to cancel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
