More and more customers are asking how to stream outside without running a cable line to the patio - and the good news is, it's easier than ever. Here's how smart outdoor TVs and streaming setups work.

Built-In Smart TV Options

Some outdoor TVs come with smart functionality built right in. The Samsung Terrace lineup, for example, includes native smart TV apps and WiFi connectivity, letting you stream directly without any additional hardware.

Adding a Streaming Device

If your outdoor TV doesn't include smart functionality, or you prefer using your existing streaming ecosystem, an outdoor-rated streaming device plugs in just like an indoor streaming stick, but is built to withstand outdoor temperature and moisture exposure that a standard device isn't rated for.

WiFi Range Considerations

Streaming outside is only as good as your WiFi signal. If your patio or backyard is at the edge of your router's range, consider a mesh extender to keep streaming smooth, especially for 4K content.

No Cable Line Required

Between built-in smart TVs and outdoor streaming devices, there's really no need to run a cable line to your patio anymore. Browse our full outdoor TV lineup to find a model with the connectivity features that fit how you actually watch.
