How Can I Connect Apple TV to an LG Hospital TV?
Asked by

I'm at the hospital where my wife is in labor, and she really wants to catch up on her shows. I brought along our Apple TV and a universal remote. I've managed to program the remote to control the TV, but I'm stuck trying to change the input. Every time I hit the input button, it only switches between channels 1-4, and scrolling through the channel list just turns the TV off. I've accessed the service mode, but I can't figure out how to switch the source to HDMI 1. I've attached some pictures of the TV and the service mode options. Any tips on how I can make this work?

It sounds like the HDMI ports might be disabled on the TV, especially since it's a hospital model. I found the manual online, and that seems to be a common issue. You might want to check if there's an 'installer remote' available through the hospital staff that can help you enable those ports directly.

CleverCactus42: That's what I suspected! I guess I could ask the nurses about the installer remote. Thanks for the suggestion!
