This way you only have the one cable of the power strip running up to the TV (or, you can fish it down the wall if it’s rated for that). Our only solution for the minimization on cables in this instance is to run a low-profile power strip to the back of the TV, velcroit as well and then coil the TV and Co-Star LT‘s power cables so they hide neatly behind the TV and plug into the strip. By relying on a normal outlet plug, you can’t essentially eliminate the sight of cables when mounting your TV against a wall, unless you have a plug located high on the wall directly behind the mounting position. We have taken a liking to the new devices entering the market that can power themselves via the TV’s USB ports. Power can be an issue on the Co-Star LT as it is powered via a regular plug (Edison). It offers support for WiFi, which is required for any of the apps to work (there is no ethernet) connection). Although this works perfectly fine in function, we find that it is much more simple (and cost efficient) to use velcro. Tip: Companies offer many bracket solutions for hooking these types of devices to the back of TVs. It connects in-line with your TV’s incoming HDMI cable (the back of the device has an HDMI in and out in which is simply acts as a pass-through so that you don’t ever have to change inputs on the TV). This is good as it helps to minimize the amount of cables and clutter that is visible and keeps a clean looking installation. The device is very small and can fit easily behind the TV if it is mounted to a wall. It basically turns any non-internet connected HDTV into a Smart TV (as long as it supports HDMI-HDCP connectivity). What makes this device so simple is that it brings exactly that, without the additional of Google TV. The new VIZIO Co-Star LT Stream Player (Model ISV-B11) is a simplified solution to bringing apps to any HDTV that supports HDMI-HDCP connectivity.
