I know I'm probably in the minority about the IR blaster. But I use it daily has anybody noticed this IR Blaster is more powerful than the V10. I'm able to turn TV's on and off from much further away than I could with my V10
 
I use it all the time (kids have a habit of losing remotes), and you're right, it's noticeably more powerful than my G4.
 
I use the IR Blaster all the time, I used it on my Note 4, too. It's a relatively small thing but I'm glad I didn't have to give that feature up.
 
IR blaster work with cablebox? since almost all current cable company pushing cable box down consumer throat.... charging 2dollar a month...
 
You still need the box so where is the savings?
their so call Pushing DIGITAL SIGNAL ONLY since anolog waste to much. Granted it took them 6 month to give all packages 1tb bandwidth limit vs 250 then 350 then 1tb.. btw this is coxcable. Also for the switch for the first year 2 boxes are free and also the charges are per box... 2box =4dollar 5box = 10... -_-"
 
I use it often. Just used it yesterday at a restaurant where the TV was at the table but muted. At home my phone is always nearby, but the remote isn't.

Just this past Friday a 60 inch TV at a place we eat at all the time had some annoying program on blaring. No one could turn it off because it was built in the wall. I used my phone to turn it off. The table looked at me like I was a magician.

I can turn up my receiver volume from a different part of the couch that I could never do it from before. Definitely more powerful and use it daily\hourly. I have all my remote shortcuts set up in the second screen (Roku, Receiver, TV, Rasperry Pi, etc) and this phone is turning into the perfect remote for me on top of everything else. Really love the second screen in conjunction with the IR.
 
What's a better app than the stock LG remote? I'm looking for functions similar to my Logitech Harmony remotes.
