Thanks for the input, folks. I was thinking we would put a cable connection outside and was trying to figure out where we were going to put the cable box, etc. When I realized I am probably an idiot. With modern smart TVs I shouldn't need a box, right? I can just put the Spectrum TV app on the smart TV outside and watch everything on our cable account out there, right?
Which now changes my plan. I was going to put our current 55" family room TV on the porch and buy a new OLED for the family room. Now I am thinking I need to put the new TV on the porch - so we have the latest type of smart TV out there that will work with the app. Our family room TV is a Smart TV but it is getting pretty old - it is the old LG Google TV - and I don't know how or if the App will work on it. In fact, I went to the app store on the TV and it won't even find the App.
So now the question is - do you buy an OLED for the porch? I think the answer is no. Not only are they way, way more expensive so you don't want to take a chance with weather impacts or, heaven forbid, someone breaking onto the porch and stealing it - but we also may not be able to fully appreciate the better picture out there...
