Will an Nvidia Shield remote work with a Sony Bravia Android TV?

by bklik

I'm not fond of the Sony remote that comes with the TV. It's very busy, and I find I only need a few of the buttons. I like the simplicity of the Shield remote. Does anyone know if it will work with a Sony Android TV? I did some Googling, but couldn't find an answer.

Not sure why the two comments saying it won't work got downvoted before I got here, but they're right. The shield remote will not work with your TV.

IIRC, the Shield remote uses Wi-Fi direct, and is only really designed to be compatible with the Shield's particular implementation of it.

If you're looking for a simpler remote, you might take a look at the Amazon Fire TV Stick remote .

I once got the Shield remote to pair to my phone. I could navigate a little, although voice control didn't work.

It definitely will not work, sorry

There's always the app though I guess the reviews aren't particularly great for that either

It might. A question on Amazon asked that and someone answered with "It powers on my 4kuhd tv. just go into the setting on your tv."
