How to put live traffic and weather on your TV
The Route Outlook Morning Board is a web page, so any screen with a web browser can show it. Everything starts with one short address:
routeoutlook.com/tv
Amazon Fire TV
- From the home screen, search for "Silk" and install the free Amazon Silk Browser.
- Open Silk, select the address bar and type routeoutlook.com/tv.
- Open the menu and choose Add bookmark, so next time it is one click away.
- Press the centre button on the remote to skip to the next screen.
Samsung smart TV
- Open the Internet app from the Apps menu.
- Select the address bar and type routeoutlook.com/tv.
- Add it to your bookmarks so you can come back to it quickly.
LG smart TV
- Open the Web Browser app from the home screen.
- Select the address bar and type routeoutlook.com/tv.
- Bookmark the page to open it again in one step.
Amazon Echo Show
- Say "Alexa, open Silk", or swipe to Apps and open Silk.
- Tap the address bar and type routeoutlook.com/tv.
- Leave it open on the counter; the board moves through its screens by itself.
iPad or Android tablet
- Open Safari or Chrome and go to routeoutlook.com/tv.
- Add it to your home screen (Share → Add to Home Screen on an iPad).
- Plug it in and turn off auto-lock while it is on the counter, or the screen will go dark.
- Tap the board to skip to the next screen.
Roku, Apple TV and other screens
Roku and Apple TV have no web browser, so the board can't open on them directly. Use AirPlay or screen mirroring from a phone or tablet instead.
Tips
- The board changes screens every 20 seconds by itself. Leave it open; it keeps updating.
- If the colours turn grey, the live data has paused. It comes back on its own.
- Some TVs dim or switch to a screensaver after a while. Turn the screensaver off in the TV's settings if you want it on all morning.
