  1. I use apps watch on but i can use for on and off the tv,when i touch watch now nothing showing on tv,can somebody solve my problem

  2. Search google play for “IR Universal Remote” by wavespark. Its a free Infrared universal remote application that lets you control your tv and other devices like your xbox360.

  3. keep going with the app as you CAN have AV receivers and a lot of other devices.
    I’ve set up my TV, bluray player, AV receiver, Apple TV, WDTV, but I cant get my Strong settop box to work. :(

  4. My app, which clicking on Show, try to change TV Channel rather then DirecTV box channel. Don’t know how to setup correctly.
