In this post, we will discuss how to use your smartphone as a remote control for your smart TV. We will cover two different applications that allow you to remotely control your TV through the internet.
Firstly, if you have a smart TV, make sure that both your phone and your TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi connection. If you have a non-smart TV, you don’t need Wi-Fi. Also, ensure that your smartphone has an IR blaster if you want to use it as a remote control. Check the link at the bottom of this post to find out how to check if your smartphone has an IR blaster.
The first application we recommend is the LG TV Remote app. You can find this app in the Play Store. Once installed, follow the prompts to connect your phone to your TV. The app generates a code that you enter into your smartphone to connect the remote. With this app, you can switch channels, adjust volume, and even access a list of channels.
The second app we recommend is the IR TV Remote app. This app works with non-smart TVs. You have two options with this app: the Smart TV Remote and the IR Blaster for Non-Smart TV. If you have a non-smart TV, select the IR Blaster option. Once again, ensure that both your phone and TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi connection. Then, select your TV brand from the list provided. With this app, you can change channels and volume.
In conclusion, using your smartphone as a remote control is a convenient way to control your TV. With the LG TV Remote app and the IR TV Remote app, you can remotely control your smart TV or non-smart TV with ease.
