Poll: Do you use the IR blaster?

[flyingkytez]

Curious to know how often you use it? I occasionally use it and it feels great to know I have a universal remote!

1. Yes, very often

2. Sometimes, especially when remote is not nearby

3. Rarely, sometimes I forget I have it

4. Never

2. For me. Remotes always disappearing.lol

 

[jacker]

I use to use mine all the time but once I upgraded from the v20 I started using remote WiFi where I can still use remote control but my phone connects WiFi instead of using ir.

 

[Ejjba]

Never, a remote is still a remote. Why lose my phone like all my remotes lol

 

[citronbull]

Hardly ever, only when I'm at a bar or restaurant and I don't like what's on TV.

 

[Mooncatt]

Sometimes... Until one of the kids loses the real remote. Lol

 

[chazglenn3]

Sometimes. I don't have the remote for my receiver, so the V20 comes in handy when watching TV and using the stereo for sound.

 

[vasekvi]

Yes just last night. But on average about once every couple weeks.

 

[MDMcAtee]

Yes I use it all the time

[OLD_HATCH]

All the time.

Just used it after casting a movie with my phone.

When I've had phones with them I fell into the 3 category.

 

[middbrew]

Yes, all the time. My phone is always with me, the remote might be across.

Cat 3

 

[OzvalDroid]

Never

 

[christianttt]

Three or four times per week.
When I go to evaluate patients in the hospital, sometimes their TV is on, since the control remote is not nearby I just use my phone to power it off. Some of then go like "what kind of sorcery is this" haha.

It's actually very useful when you go to someone else's house and want to use the TV. No need to figure out how the remote works!

 

[Doug Moffat]

Seldom but when I do it's essential.

I'm not worried on that. I know the two providers in my area due to family so I can use it faster via remote then the phone app.

 

[michail71]

No but I have a Harmony Hub and Alexa.

Usually I don't touch the remote in someone else's house but is it really all that difficult to figure out a remote?
