@@TechandDesign Question my tv is on the wall but isn’t one that can move around so I’d have to slide it up to put hdmi in I have a PlayStation five so if I was to turn my console off and take the hdmi part that’s in the ps5 and put that into the switch dock would that work would save me a lot of time swapping cables and lifting my tv off I’ve asked other channels but they haven’t really been responsive

You are great with instructions! But I’m a baby boomer! I bought my son, in the 80’s the OG NINTENDO…I WAS obsessed…when my boy went to sleep…I’d play all night! I actually dreamt and heard the super Mario bros. Theme song in my head all night! However! Nintendo released many games after the OG, just not my vibes..until I saw this new release game, WONDER! Right away I ordered the pkg. but man oh man! Why is so so complicated to hook up a game? I mean your video is great but just like when I hooked up my Apple TV …GOTTA IT WRONG! I’m hoping I have no issues setting my switch up…so many steps! You’d think I was connecting to nucl*er codes..OMG! BUT THANKS AGAIN FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! Appreciate from 🇨🇦

I do have a few questions though, so if you could help me I would greatly appreciate it. 1. If I don't want to use my TV (or for some reason I can't), can I still use this? 2. Just so I understand correctly, for using the TV I have to have it plugged into both the TV & an outlet, correct? 3. To use the TV does the device have to be close to the TV - meaning of let's say I have the device on the floor below the TV will this still work? 4. I don't have a PayPal account, so I would have to use credit card, my question is will it still be the same setup? If you are going to answer my questions please number them how I have them and I might have more later once I get this
