I can never find the TV remote.
Whether it’s slipped somewhere in or under the sofa, or been hidden by the kids, I’m often at a loss to find it.
A mobile phone, on the other hand, is rarely too far from my hand 🙂
So I’ve hacked together a quick app to put a TV remote control interface on my phone. It’s definitely a quick-and-dirty chunk of code, but it does now mean that I can work my TV from my mobile if I can’t find the real remote.
On the off-chance that this is useful to other vdr users, I wanted to share how I did it.
