Westinghouse sells smart and non-smart TVs side by side, in the same sizes, at nearly the same prices, with model numbers that differ by one letter. Every current Westinghouse smart TV runs Roku TV, but the brand also shipped Amazon Fire TV Edition sets in 2017 — built by Tongfang Global, the same company behind Element — and still sells plain WD-series panels with no network at all.
| Model line / series | TV operating system | How it is controlled over the network | Pairing | On-set button |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WR HD / 4K Roku TV (e.g. WR32HE2520 32", WR43UT4212 43") | Roku TV | Roku ECP — HTTP on port 8060, found by SSDP | None — connects instantly | Single Roku-standard button under the set |
| Mini-LED Roku TV and Roku TV Max (e.g. WR65MX6500, 55"–75") | Roku TV | Roku ECP — HTTP on port 8060, found by SSDP | None — connects instantly | Single Roku-standard button under the set |
| Fire TV Edition, 2017 (WA43UFA1001, WA50UFA1001, WA55UFA1001, WA65UFA1001) | Amazon Fire TV Edition | Fire TV network protocol over Wi-Fi | One-time 4-digit PIN shown on the TV screen | Small button on the underside |
| WD standard series (WD32HB1120, WD24HX1201, WD32HX5201 with DVD) | Basic panel — no smart platform | None: no network stack to talk to | Not applicable | Button row on the rear or side edge |
The prefix is the test: WR is Roku TV, WA…UFA is the 2017 Fire TV Edition, WD is a basic panel. The top of the current range is branded "Roku TV Max" — Mini-LED sets with a native 144 Hz panel — and it is still Roku TV underneath, reached the same way as the 32-inch WR32HE2520.
Reaching the menu with no remote
Westinghouse Roku TVs follow the Roku convention: one button under the set, short press for power or the input list, long press to power off. On some sizes it sits toward the bottom-left corner rather than dead centre, so run a finger along the whole lower edge before assuming there is none. WD-series panels use a separate button row on the back or side.
On a Westinghouse Roku TV the network menu needs a remote or a phone, as on any Roku TV; plugging in Ethernet gets you through setup without either. On a 2017 WA…UFA Fire TV Edition set the first phone connection asks for an on-screen PIN once. A WD-series panel has no network menu at all.
Known Westinghouse failure mode
Check the first two letters of the model number before anything else. WD32HB1120 and WR32HE2520 are both 32-inch Westinghouse TVs sold side by side, but only the WR is a smart TV — the WD has no network hardware, so no app on any phone will ever see it. If it is a WR, the TV and phone must be on the same Wi-Fi network; guest networks and AP isolation block the SSDP discovery Roku TVs use.
