This day with technology development everything can be done, especially by using your iPhone. One of the usage of your phone nowadays is to be a remote control. Yep, a remote…. a universal remote controller.

There are some  app to be downloaded especially if you are using the some well known brand for  example Samsung, or Sony. Those smart TV apps often will allow you to control your television’s basic functions and also offer more comprehensive control over things like your TV’s built-in media services. Some TV apps also allow sharing of phone or tablet content with the TV. This lets you show photos and videos you’ve taken or play music on your TV rather than make your friends crowd around your small portable screen.

4. Watch TV

A TV’s app allows you to essentially have two (or more) remotes in the house in addition to the real remote that came with your TV. This is especially useful if you want to turn the TV volume down, but someone else has the remote. Note, that this method controls your TV via Wi-Fi. Not all TVs can actually be powered on or off directly via Wi-Fi, so you still may need the original remote for that.Some of the apps have better controls than others. Comcast’s Xfinity TV Remote, for example, only lets you enter a channel number via a keypad or jump to previous channels. Other apps may come closer to duplicating your physical remote. You may also be able to use an app’s built-in channel guide to jump directly to a specific show.

A major downside of using the TV’s own app is that it usually can only control the TV. If you want to operate other components in your system, such as your DVR or Blu-ray player, you’ll need additional apps for that, and the result is a pile of apps, which is just as tedious as a pile of remotes.

And there you go, the Guide to help you make your phone as a tv remote.
