Once paired, your content will load on the TV automatically.
Important limitation to be aware of
Section titled “Important limitation to be aware of”BrowseHere does not have an auto-start feature. If the TV loses power or restarts, you will need to manually open BrowseHere and navigate to https://tv2bb.com again.
For a display that recovers automatically after a restart — such as a screen at a trade show that needs to start up on its own each morning — use Fully Kiosk Browser instead.
