10 Mobile Apps to Control Your TV

1. XBMC

You don't need a separate piece of hardware — just a computer that can talk to your TV. Download this remote for your Android phone and run all of your media through the set with the help of the XBMC SOFTWARE HUB just like you would with a dedicated set-side device.
Control From: Android
Price: FREE

2. Re Universal Remote Control

Check out the funky buttons (just one of many options). This TV control app talks to its own infrared accessory as an intermediary, bringing your iPhone into the picture as the control panel for the TV. You'll also have access to re-compatible DVD players, audio equipment and the like. The app itself is free.
Control From: iOS
Price: $59.95 – $79.95

3. Google TV Remote

If your TV is equipped with Google TV integration, the free remote app puts every function at your fingertips, from powering up and down to voice-searching your content.
Control From: Android
Price: FREE

4. ArkMC DLNA UnpP

Way more than a simple TV remote — though it does that well, too — this app can play material from your PC, your Xbox360 and even stream video from a separate camera to the screen.
Control From: Android
Price: $3.99

5. Sony Media Remote

While it's not tied to any one piece of hardware, this remote is designed to push content from dozens of compatible Sony TVs, Blu-ray players and receivers. It can catch and throw websites from phone to set, and it becomes a gamepad when you play via Sony Internet TV.
Control From: Android
Price: FRE

6. VIERA Remote

Many Panasonic sets are equipped to run from your smartphone via VIERA, which allows you to not only switch channels and play content, but also gives you full touchpad interaction with all the set's settings. Of course, you can push pictures and video from your iOS device to the screen, and you can even browse the web with your TV as the monitor.
Control From: Android and IOS
Price: FREE

7. Samsung Remote

Another brand-designed, full-function remote for your smartphone, with web integration and features designed to allow you to pull content from online sources. Smart TV is the concept, and these apps are the core of the implementation.
Control From: Android and IOS
Price: FREE

8. PEEL

With the help of a battery-powered, pear-shaped device that pairs with the TV, your iPhone becomes a browser. The Peels sorts content into graphical tiles, grouped by genre. These are fully customizable and couple with the concept of on-board Peel curation.
Control From: Android and iOS
Price: Approx. $100

9. Beacon

From the Beacon hub, placed in the room with your set, your Android or iOS-equipped phone becomes a full media remote. Beacon will work with your TV, stereo and any media component that its Dijit software knows or can learn.
Control From: iOS and Android
Price: $69.99

10. VLC Media Player

There's absolutely nothing to buy. This media player and remote app combo runs from your PC or OS system to your linked set. It's all powered by the non-profit open source multimedia wizards at the VideoLAN Organization.
Control From: iOS and Android
Price: FREE
