How to Watch TV

All the TVs in the house are smart TVs and are already set up to use the house WiFi to stream using your favorite app. You will need to log in using your credentials for your subscription.

Local Channels

All TVs also have the ability to watch the major local network TV stations using a digital antenna. There are over 100 channels that we receive locally, but the major ones (CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, Telemundo, Univision) are typically loaded in a shortcut list.

The local channels are:

  • 2.1 NBC WESH 2 Orlando
  • 3.1 PBS
  • 6.1 CBS WKMG
  • 9.1 ABC WFTV Orlando
  • 18.1 CW Orlando
  • 31.1 WTMO Telemundo Orlando
  • 35.1 FOX 35 Orlando
  • 43.1 Univision Orlando

Some of the TVs have the ability to use the TabloTV app. The TabloTV is on the main entertainment center and can stream to up to 4 TVs simultaneously. It gives access to the local digital channels with a DVR functionality, giving you the ability to pause live TV etc. It can also be set to record shows to watch later. The TV out on the patio can ONLY stream live TV using the Tablo app because it does not have an antenna connection.

To Watch TV on the Living Room Entertainment Center use the Harmony Universal Remote

The easiest way to start watching the TV is hit the WATCH SMART TV button. This will turn on the TV and the home theater receiver and set it to the appropriate settings.

Listen to music on all speakers in the house

Mickey’s Sunset Villa has speakers in every room and 2 sets of speakers on the patio. Each room has a volume control on the wall. If you don’t want to hear music in any room, simply turn the volume all the way to the left for that room.

Step 1 for listening to music over all speakers is hit the ALL HOUSE SPEAKERS button. This will enable the 5 speakers in the living room AND all the speakers throughout the house and on the patio.

You can stream music to the stereo several different ways such as Bluetooth and Apply Airplay. To use Apple Airplay, join the house WiFi (you MUST be on the 7903 Rising Sun WiFi network) and then follow along with the pictures below.

Select the Airplay button at the bottom to find Airplay devices

Outdoor Patio Speaker Control

Please be considerate with the volume level of outdoor music

Please be mindful that the outdoor speakers can be quite loud and that sound travels EXTREMELY WELL across the water. The Wall Mounted speakers can easily be heard by our neighbors across the lake. If you have the speakers loud enough to easily hear over the noise of the hot tub, then the neighbors will be rocking along with you. Please be considerate. Quiet hours in the neighborhood are from 10 PM to 8 AM.

Outdoor TV

The outdoor TV on the patio has a remote on the wall just inside the adjacent doors. Please do not leave the remote outside or take it in the pool. If the remote is water damaged, you will be charged for a replacement. To watch local TV channels on the outdoor TV, use the Tablo TV app. PLEASE NOTE: There is a WiFi access point (the white plug) plugged in with the TV and it must be plugged in to get a strong signal.
