I bought a flat screen TV to mount outside on my deck for watching sports outside with friends & family.
It's a 32" ROKU TV and I plan to mount it under the eves so it will be partially protected from the weather. But any other tips for extra protection would be appreciated!

Don't touch it if it's raining.
 
I got a squirrel cage from my first system when I was in high school I can send you. You can hook up a car battery and its good to go!
Will be tons more expensive than a fan. You are welcome
 
Took forever to get it mounted. Had to buy a stud finder and of course it need an archaic 9 volt battery so I had to go buy one of those.
Then it took me near 2 hours of researching to find out how to watch the royals as they are blacked out on MLB Network (because we're pretending these stupid regulations are still relevant in the age of streaming)
I don't get local Fox Sports KC via PSVUE but I do get some of their national channels. As a result I qualified for Fox Sports KC GO via ROKU.

So here I sit, finally, watching the game on my deck with a beer and some great weather.... Only wish I had planned it better and had food on the grill.
 
Forget about the halfway measure, it will never last unless you get on of these.

Neither poor nor blind. It's a deck not a bowling alley
 
Grounded outlet.

No one practices golf in the yard.

Don't watch porn on it?
Lol

You can always spend 20/30 K to enclose the deck around your "cheap" TV. ROKU sounds like something from a Jules Vern novel. But that is the ticket, 30/40 K to build a new deck to get outdoors and at the same time enclose the current deck to protect ROKU. That is the reasonable approach to this entire situation or move "game time" to the garage along with the deck appliances and sun in the drive. That way the current deck and newly attached deck can be turned into another bedroom for the viewing family and friends. Add 10K for the remodel to plug in a bathroom for them also. For a lousey 50K the problems are taken care of, game watching can continue, beer drinking can forge ahead, and let it rain, on the reflection. Happy to have been of help and feel free to ask any related questions I may be of help with. Gooo for the gusto, Grampa.

32" TV? They make them that large now. What will the Oriental be doing next?
