Ordered a new TV for the deck and office and a stand so I can move it around without mounting it to the wall. Well it arrived without a power cord and remote control in the box. How that happened I don't know, but the power cord was pretty standard and I grabbed one off my battery charger for some power tools since it was the same connector. I tried a Firestick remote, but couldn't get that to pair with the TV. Also tried using my phone's app, but I think it has to be connected to the same WiFi as the TV to work. They're shipping a remote and power cord, but any ideas on how to set it up before those arrive?

This model if it makes any difference:

Do you have a USB keyboard and mouse?

It's theoretically possible with those.

Hadn't thought about that, but may give it a try just for fun. I ended up getting Amazon to just send a whole replacement TV and will ship this one back. Customer service said they were shipping a remote and power cord, but who knows when that might show up. So I did a return and replacement, and that shipped yesterday and should be here today.

Funny, I just set up a Hisense 65" U6 Pro today. It gave me a barcode during setup and then redirected to my Amazon phone app and finished


easy
