Can it connect a tv
Thanks for your question. You can connect the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential to to your TV via Bluetooth and a wired connection. However, we recommend connecting it to your TV using an AUX connection to avoid audio-video delays or latency instead of Bluetooth. You may need a DAC (digital-to-analog converter) if your TV doesn't have an AUX output to achieve this setup. While this is technically possible, our PartyBox isn't designed to provide the same audio-video experience as the soundbars.

can the speaker withstand the steam of a shower? not the direct water but the steam itself.
Thanks for your question. Our JBL Partybox Encore Essential has an IPX4 which can withstand water splashes from any direction. However, the unit is not waterproof.
