A few things to know
Can I use it if I lost my remote?
Yes, if your TV is already connected to your network. If the TV has no network connection, you’ll need its physical controls or another remote to connect it first.
Why can’t the app find my TV?
Check that both devices use the same network. Allow Local Network access for TV Remote+ in your iPhone’s Settings. Guest Wi-Fi can prevent devices from finding each other. Get help.
Will volume work with a streaming stick?
It depends on the stick, the connected TV, and their HDMI-CEC settings. A connected remote does not guarantee volume or power control.
Is there an Android app?
TV Remote+ is available for iPhone. It can control an Android TV, but it does not run on an Android phone.
