Summary
- If you have lost your TV remote, there are several ways you can take control of your television without having to purchase a replacement remote.
- The first option is to use your smartphone as a remote control.
- Most smart TV brands have an official remote app that can be downloaded to your smartphone and synced up to the TV via Wi-Fi.
- Alternatively, there are many universal remote apps available for both Android and iOS devices that enable you to control a range of smart TV brands.
- Another option is to use a smart speaker or voice assistant to control your TV with voice commands.
- If you have an Amazon Fire TV, you can use Alexa; for Chromecast, you can use Google Assistant; and for Apple TV, you can use Siri.
- Many TV brands also allow you to enable HDMI-CEC, which allows you to use another device’s remote to control your TV.
- You also have the option of attaching a tracking device, such as a Tile Tracker, to your remote to locate it if it goes missing.
- Finally, a simple solution is to ensure there is a dedicated remote storage spot for the remote control to prevent it from continually going missing.
