Simple TV Remote Control - A Free Android Application
The Simple TV Remote Control is a simple remote control that works with most major infrared televisions and set-top boxes. It features large, backlit buttons for easy access. Its simplicity makes it a great option for anyone who is struggling with dexterity or dementia. It even has a learning mode, so you can program the buttons according to what you want. The remote is also backed by a full-time tech support team in the USA.
You can also download this application on your mobile device. It works by utilizing the IR port on your phone. Just make sure your phone is on the same network as your television. Be aware that some TV sets do not work with this application. However, if you have an Android smartphone, you can install the Simple TV Remote Control app on it.
The Simple TV Remote Control can also be used with cable set-top boxes. It works well with HDTV. The remote can work with these devices if it has an antenna. If you have a strong signal, the remote control can operate anywhere in the home. But, it can't be used in buildings with steel because steel is a hindrance for RF remote controls. However, most homes aren't built with steel, but some backyard barns and garages do.
The Simple TV Remote Control has only 5 buttons for programming. One of them is the power button. Hold it for about five seconds to make sure it works. Another button is the up/down channel button. The device must be powered on and the remote must be in working order to do the programming.
