Remote Control for TV

Control your television with your phone.

The Remote Control for TV app is one that makes keeping up with your remote a bit easier. It also keeps down on the number of devices that are used in the home. One of the things to keep in mind is that the device supports infrared. If it doesn't, then the app is useless as this is how the signals are sent to the TV. Once you are sure that the TV is compatible, you can search through the number of TV brands to find yours. After you have found the correct brand, you will set up the remote like you would when programming any other remote control.

When the Remote Control for TV app is programmed, you can begin operating the channels and controlling the volume. It's best to have the device pointed right at the TV because some televisions don't really pick up on the signal from the phone as much as they do an actual remote. There is an option to add a DVD or VCR to the remote control so that you can control those as well. You can control the DVR if your TV has one.
