About Remote TV

TV Remote Control for Sony TV. Control your Sony TV with your smartphone!

What Remote TV Is Used For

Remote TV appears to be a smartphone app for controlling a Sony TV from an Android phone. Based on the title and short description, it is commonly used as a replacement for a physical TV remote when you want to change channels, adjust volume, or navigate TV menus from your device.

The permissions suggest it may connect over Wi‑Fi and network services, and it also requests IR transmission, which points to remote-control functionality for compatible devices. Because it is listed as a phone app in the House & Home category, it is most relevant for everyday home TV use rather than media playback or streaming on its own. It may be useful when the original remote is misplaced, when quick control from the couch is more convenient, or when you want a phone-based control option for supported Sony TVs.

Common uses

  • May let you control a Sony TV from an Android phone
  • Useful as a replacement when the physical remote is not nearby
  • May support Wi‑Fi-based TV control on compatible devices
  • IR permission suggests it may also work with infrared-supported setups
  • Can be helpful for common actions like volume and navigation
  • Designed for home TV use rather than general media playback
  • Most relevant for users with a Sony TV and an Android phone
Best for:
Sony TV owners Phone remote control Home TV control Everyday use Remote friendly
