Smart TV and streaming setup

Make the TV, streaming box, soundbar, remote, apps, and Wi‑Fi feel like one system.

Setup can cover Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Chromecast or Google TV, supported apps, remote pairing, HDMI inputs, basic HDMI-CEC or eARC checks, soundbars, and reconnecting after a router change.

Smart TV, streaming, and soundbar setup starts at $150 for a 90-minute appointment.

Choose a simpler power-on, input, and remote path for everyday use.

Separate an app or account problem from weak Wi‑Fi or unsupported hardware.

You enter subscriptions and passwords yourself, then receive clear everyday-use instructions.

Looking for TV mounting or repair?

Choose the right service before booking.

A working display, accessible inputs, customer-owned equipment, available account access, and a usable internet connection make this a good setup visit. Broken panels, board repair, TV mounting, electrical work, and concealed cabling need another path.

What happens during the visit

A setup you can use confidently.

  • Confirm the devices, brands, app ownership, Wi‑Fi setup, power or mounting limits, and what must work first.
  • Check low-risk causes first: signal reach, app state, device power, permissions, firmware prompts, inputs, and account ownership.
  • Let the owner handle sign-ins, sharing, lock-code creation, MFA, recovery codes, subscriptions, and camera access directly.
  • Test the agreed result and leave clear notes for device names, everyday use, family sharing, and follow-up work.

Privacy and account access

The owner stays in control.

  • Keep passwords, MFA and recovery codes, lock or guest codes, camera footage, and private access details out of requests.
  • TV wall mounting, in-wall electrical work, concealed AV cabling, and panel or board-level electronics repair are not included in a normal setup visit.
  • Door alignment, locksmith work, rekeying, transformer or chime work, drilling, ladders, gates, wiring, and larger installations may require a separate quote or specialist.
  • Hidden cameras, unauthorized monitoring, access-control or alarm work, and unlawful surveillance are not Tech Genie services.

Smart home setup FAQ

Quick answers before you book.

Do you set up smart home devices in Los Angeles?

Yes. Tech Genie helps Los Angeles homes with smart doorbells, smart locks, thermostats, lights, hubs, cameras, app setup, automations, and the Wi‑Fi checks behind those devices.

Can Tech Genie set up Ring or Nest doorbells?

Often, yes, when the device, app ownership, Wi‑Fi, power or battery situation, mounting surface, and scope are workable. Transformer, chime, drilling, or wiring issues may need a quote or specialist.

Can you help with smart locks and keypad locks?

Often, yes. The owner controls lock codes, app sign-ins, sharing, and device ownership. Door alignment, locksmith work, rekeying, gates, or access-control systems may require a specialist.

Can Tech Genie set up Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, or Chromecast?

Yes. Tech Genie can connect customer-owned Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Chromecast, or Google TV devices; choose the right input; pair supported remotes; set up apps; and provide simple instructions. You enter subscriptions, passwords, and verification codes yourself.

Can you fix a smart TV that will not stay connected to Wi‑Fi?

Often, yes. The visit can separate weak Wi-Fi, router changes, TV settings, old firmware, account or app issues, and unsupported hardware. Coverage problems may be better handled through a Wi-Fi setup or site survey.

Do you mount TVs or repair broken TV panels?

TV wall mounting, in-wall electrical work, concealed AV cabling, and panel or board-level electronics repair are not included in a normal smart-home setup visit. Ask before booking so Tech Genie can confirm whether the work can be separately scoped or needs a qualified specialist.

Why do smart devices keep disconnecting?

Common causes include weak Wi‑Fi, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network confusion, router changes, device placement, app or account changes, power problems, or older unsupported hardware.
