Eightpoint Launches Universal TV Remote App to Simplify Smart TV Control
Lost remotes, dead batteries, and multiple controllers are everyday frustrations for many TV owners. To solve this common problem, Eightpoint has launched Universal TV Remote, a mobile app that turns iOS and Android devices into a powerful remote control for a wide range of smart TVs.
With a quick Wi-Fi setup and support for many popular TV brands, the app allows users to control their television directly from their phone—eliminating the need to search for physical remotes or manage multiple devices.
“We designed Universal TV Remote to solve a problem millions of people experience every day,” said Nick Cherevko, Product Manager for the Mobile team at Eightpoint. “Whether a remote is lost, broken, or simply out of reach, the app gives users an easy way to control their TV instantly from their phone.”
A Smarter Way to Control Your TV
Traditional remotes can be easily misplaced, require batteries, and often differ between devices. Universal TV Remote was developed by Eightpoint to provide a simpler and more flexible solution. By connecting over Wi-Fi, the app enables seamless communication between a smartphone and compatible smart TVs.
Quick Setup with Smart Detection
Universal TV Remote is designed to be simple to set up. Users only need to connect their smartphone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network. The app automatically detects compatible devices and allows users to begin controlling their television within seconds.
