Is it possible to use a smartphone to control my non-smart television?

Perhaps a little too late but yes now you can. Not just your TV but also your DTH Set Top Box and in a much smarter way. To do that, you need to have a device that sends IR commands to your TV or Set Top Box (or other IR based devices).Option 1 (ONLY for Android smartphones WITH IR blaster) : Download Peel app for Android. You can not only control your TV and other devices, you can also view what shows and movies are coming on your Set Top Box and change channels without touching your remote. This option not only drains your battery within a matter of minutes, but is also not the most seamless experience you could expect. You have to point your phone exactly towards the device just like a remote. With remote it makes sense - physical buttons let you feel the press and give you a feedback while you look at the TV. With a mobile, you can either look at the TV and end up tapping wrongly on the screen because of lack of feedback, or you can look at the screen, which goes contrary to user behavior. If you haven’t tried it yet, you should. You’ll absolutely hate the experience.Option 2 (For ALL Android Smartphones and iPhone) : You will need to have a device that can act as an IR bridge that takes remote commands from your mobile over Bluetooth (BLE) or WiFi and converts them into IR signals for your TV/DTH. One such option in the market is a device called Bubble Uno we have built at Bubble Technologies. Buy Bubble Uno from Amazon and start controlling your TV and DTH from your mobile. If you are a regular TV watcher, then you will find it particularly useful that you don’t have to use your remote to navigate through all the categories and channels using the remote. Just a few swipes on your app and you can browse through all the TV shows and movies coming now, coming later. You can read synopsis of the shows, see it’s ratings and just change channel directly from your mobile with one tap.If you love watching TV and feel that in 21st century, remotes do not do justice to content lovers, and surely there must be a better way, you should know that yes there is a better way.
