Smart peel app

Not problem at all. Working nicely.

LOL There is a problem. See the screen shots and convo above. It will not work with my area code and directv...No reason at all. It was working before and it did work very well but for some reason it isn't now.

There's probably an update in the works. I would also suggest contacting the developer by email to inform them of the issue. I doubt you'll find a resolution here

Is there a better app that you use? Or do you just use a remote lol

I havent tried any. My HTC One M7 had a remote app that worked really well (the irony is, I think it was made in conjunction with Peel!)

So I just use remotes. The app is such a faff, it's a total gimmick really. IMHO.

Peel works perfectly. You just have to set it up properly. Delete your rooms and try and install them again. The key is setting up the "set top box" after you gain control of your TV. Also, select your cable provider after you put in your zip

Trust me, it absolutely does NOT work for me. Not on my S5, not on my S6. I'm using a common Virgin Cable box and a Panasonic TV. It detects them but... cannot change to any channel like 117, 322, 228 and so on. I have tried everything.

I also think the whole thing is a horrible mess too.

I think it is great and works just fine for my Samsung TV and fios box. Not to mention it works flawlessly to mirror my screen for you tube videos etc.

My kids like to hide the remotes so they can watch their shows but my S6 has returned the power back to dad!

How do you get the little floating remote to disappear from other screens? It keeps popping up when I'm using other apps

I have an issue with the app because it plays every episode of the shows I monitor, even though I have it tell me when new episodes are on.

Works fine on my phone. I'm using the M9 though. I like the old HTC remote app better, but it's usable. I have U-Verse for my cable provider. TV and sound bar are Vizio for the bedroom I've set it up in. Haven't tried in my living room yet though.

How do you mirror the screen for YouTube?

 

[katiheefner]

Working now

 

[jcp007]

Working now. So, basically you have to use wifi or carrier network for it to function?

How do you mirror the screen for YouTube?

When using the youtube app on the same network as the TV a cast sign will be at the top of a video you play on your phone. Just hit that button and select your TV and your phone screen appears on your screen. Once you disconnect your TV comes back on to the show you were on.

Not much point if there are no channels listed. Anyone try any of the other apps in the Play Store?

Not necessarily correct..I use it and it sets up fine, I don't bother with looking up a show and switching the channel by tapping on the show. I like that I have a remote, I always know where it is, no one has put it behind a cushion, no one is hogging the remote, if the remote gets lost, I don't have to climb over and under things to be able to push buttons on the top or the side or the back of the TV, cable box and or receiver, depending on which room I am in.

It hasn't been an issue for me with my Note 3, S5 or Note 4.

Since you have had an issue with all phones, then I think the issue is your cable box.

I guess that Whatson that worked on my GS4 hasn't been update for Lollipop.

They are made by the same company, Peel. I would email the developer the info about it not working for you. I had to email them a question about Watchon and they emailed by pretty quickly.

Got it to work. Just wondering if the internet connection is the key, mobile network or wireless. After using it a while, it would appear so as the schedule updates over time.

It will let you use it on data, it warns you if you aren't. I don't know if there are any settings that you can change to make it only work on wifi though.

Makes me no mind. I have the AT&T grandfathered unlimited data plan.

I've just been trying to set it up on my Samsung Galaxy S5. It works for TV, Roku and RCN Tivo, and will turn on the home theater, but it won't turn the home theater off. Anyone else have this problem?
