In case you just have bought the LG Cinema 3D Smart TV and you wish to turn the iOS or Android-based smartphone into a remote control, then you may need to install the LG TV Remote App. Basically, this app will turn your handset into a Wi-Fi remote controller. Thus, in this post you’ll find out several tips about how to download and install it on your current handset and then use it properly in order to get the maximum performance of the app itself and also get the most of your TV watching experience.
The very first thing that you will need to do is definitely downloading the LG TV Remote app in Google Play Market or Apple App Store. For Android handset users, this application is free of charge and you can simply click here to download. The app will require Android OS 2.1 (Eclair) or newer and it has the file size of about 4 MB. For the iOS users, the app is also available for free and you just click here. The app is compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad or it will require at least iOS 3.2. Also, make sure that you have the Wi-Fi network on your own house.
Right after you have downloaded and installed the app on your handset, now you’re ready to start using it. First of all, you will need to pair the application with your Smart TV through the Wi-Fi connection. To start the pairing process, you have to open up the application and then you will see that it will automatically scan for your Smart TV. When the application has detected your TV, simply tap the "Connect†button and then look at the code that will appear on your TV display. Enter the code into the pairing key textbox and that’s it you’ve just finished the pairing process and you can start using your current smartphone as the remote control for the television.
There are actually five main features contained in this app including Touch-pad, Buttons, Settings, QWERTY keyboard and Volume, Channel, and "My CHâ€. The touch-pad will work just like a regular touch pad on a laptop. You will simply need to put your finger on the smartphone display and the Magic Motion pointer will appear on television. If you prefer to use the old school key navigation of the standard LG remote, then you may need to use the Buttons feature. Use the Settings menu to customize the application for example changing the vibration and sound effects and perhaps adjusting the touch-pad sensitivity. The QWERTY keyboard will be really great for faster typing activity while browsing the web. To adjust the volume, you will just need to swipe up and down the volume rockers on the phone screen. The My CH feature will enable users to create a list of the most favored channels.
In general, the LG TV Remote App is really worth to download since it has simple and fast pairing process and it’s responsive as well. But however, the app lacks the power button to turn on and off the television instantly. [IS]
