Remote control apps: See how they work!
TV remote control apps are handy and work in a very intelligent, but simple way.
First, it's cool to know that your cell phone is already a small technology hub. It has several ways of communicating with other devices, whether via the internet, Bluetooth or even infrared, same as many traditional remote controls.
Now, when you install a remote control app on your phone, what you're doing is basically telling it how to talk to your TV. It's as if the application translated the commands you make on your cell phone screen into a language that the TV understands.
So that everything works properly, the cell phone needs to be connected to the TV somehow. This can be via Wi-Fi, where both cell phone and TV are on the same internet network. Thus, they can exchange information, with the cell phone sending orders and the TV responding to these commands.
Now, what's super cool about these apps is that they not only replace the remote control but can do so much more. In addition to changing channels or adjusting the volume, you can navigate through the TV menus, access streaming applications and much more, all directly from your cell phone.
