Do I need a Wifi connection to stream Critical Reload TV?
Yes, we use your school’s network to stream Critical Reload TV.
Is Critical Reload TV secure on my school or company network?
Yes. Our platform gets used by some of the world’s biggest brands, and as such, we hold security and compliance in the highest regard. We pride ourselves on maintaining and implementing the correct and latest security processes across all aspects of our platform.
The platform infrastructure gets hosted via Amazon’s AWS in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). This security physically prevents any connections from accessing core servers from the external internet, only allowing access via the load balancer. This configuration essentially mitigates the risk of a third party exfiltrating data from our databases or asset library storage.
Are Amazon 4K Fire Stick’s secure?
We are currently deployed across multiple large projects running Amazon 4K Fire Sticks, this includes many financial institutions where security is of the highest priority, where the devices have passed their internal IT audits. The device is also fully backed by Amazon who provide regular security updates to the devices. CLICK HERE for details.
The FireTV device is based on Android, but heavily modified by Amazon to prevent unauthorized software from running on the device. To install any software that is not from the Amazon App Store, you would have to use the remote to enable functionality called “Android Debug Bridge”, confirm the connection to my computer visually on the FireTV Stick and then run the software. Even then, an attacker still doesn’t have access to the “superuser” (basically “Admin”) to be able to make changes to the core FireTV software files.
What size TV screen do I need?
Choosing the right TV size for your room depends on two critical factors: your budget and the size of the space.
While your budget may play a role, the size of your television should be determined by how crowded your weight room is on average. The smallest we suggest you go with is a 40-inch screen. If your budget allows, an ideal screen size is between 55 to 60-inch.
Wherever you decide to put the TV in your weight room, you’ll almost always want to mount it to the wall instead of using a TV stand. If the gym will serve multiple people, average their heights and subtract 5 inches to ascertain average eye level. Place the middle of the TV slightly above this point to best accommodate the majority.
A TV with screen technology with excellent viewing angles is OLEDs, followed by QLED, and LED-LCD TVs.
A single TV will work great utilizing Critical Reload TV in your weight room. Purchasing multiple smaller TVs is a great way to get the optimal viewing experience at various locations in your weight room without having to compromise.
