  • Yes. All you need is an IR blaster. An infrared blaster, or IR blaster, is a device that emits infrared radiation. It is used in devices such as television sets, DVD players, and other electronics to allow them to be controlled using an infrared remote control. Some modern smartphones include an IR blaster, allowing them to be used as TV remotes.

    Yes, many phones come with TV remote apps that allow you to control your TV using your phone. However, not all phones have these apps, so you may need to download them from the app store. Also, not all TVs are compatible with phone remote apps, so be sure to check your TV's manual or manufacturer's website to see if it is supported.
