Remote Control for Sky/Directv

Remote Control for Sky/Directv turns your Android phone into a single universal remote for your Sky receiver or DirecTV and other home AV gear. The app uses your device’s built-in infrared (IR) emitter to replicate traditional remote functions so you can change channels, adjust volume, navigate guides and control DVD/Blu-ray or home theater equipment from one interface. If you want to replace multiple remotes and simplify living-room controls this utility provides a compact, easy-to-use solution. The app requires Android 4.4 or higher and currently works on phones with an IR blaster; Wi‑Fi control is planned for a future update.
