How to Use Your Mobile Phone as a TV Remote
As smartphones and TVs become more popular, the competition between them has driven many
companies to innovate and create products that serve one another. One such example is the
Chrome cast, which allows people to stream TV from their mobile device onto their TV.
Introduction
If you're like most people, you probably use your mobile phone as a phone, GPS navigator,
music player, and more. But did you know you can also use your mobile phone as a TV remote?
It's easy to do and there are a few different ways to go about it.
One way to use your mobile phone as a TV remote is to use an app like AirTV Express or TiVo
Roamio. These apps allow you to access your cable or satellite TV channels through your mobile
device. Just plug in your antenna, launch the app, and select the channel you want to watch. Note
that not all channels are available through these apps; check the app's website for a complete list
of channels.
Another way to use your mobile phone as a TV remote is by using streaming services like Netflix,
Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video. With these services, you can watch TV shows and movies online
instead of on traditional television. Just sign in with your account information and start watching.
Note that some streaming services require a subscription fee; check the service's website for
details.
How to Use a Remote with Your Mobile Phone
Do you have a mobile phone that can be used as a TV remote? If so, this is great news! TV remotes
can be expensive, and many people don’t have one. By using your mobile phone as a TV remote,
you can save money and reduce clutter in your home. Here are some steps to get started:
1. Turn on your TV and your mobile phone.
2. Open the media player on your mobile phone.
3. Tap the “TV” icon in the top-left corner of the media player.
4. Select the channel that you want to watch from the list of channels that appears.
5. Hold down the “CTRL” key and tap the “ENTER” key on your keyboard to enter full-screen mode
for the channel you’re watching.
6. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move around in the program.
7. When you want to exit full-screen mode, press CTRL+ESC on your keyboard or tap the “X” in the
top left corner of the screen.

What You'll Need
If you want to be able to use your mobile phone as a TV remote, you'll first need to install the appropriate

you have the app installed, open it and sign in. You'll then need to find the "TV Remote" setting. This will

app and control your TV.
