Hey everybody.
I own a Philips 65OLED873, the remote is very stylish but the IR is terrible and half the times it doesn't register the key press.
I was wondering if I bought a 3rd party bluetooth remote, could I pair it to my TV and use it to also turn it on and off?
Does anyone have any experience with other brands maybe?
I'm very happy with the Harmony Hub and Companion Remote on my Sony XBR-55x700D. I'm not sure if it's using BT or WiFi since I've got a BT dongle plugged into one of the USB ports for a keyboard. I'm not using IR. The companion remote talks to the Hub by BT and the Hub sends all the commands over BT or WiFi (it also has an optional IR emitter that I'm not using).
It's much better than the Sony Remote and I can control my TiVo, Roku, Sony BluRay, and Vizio soundbar. Finally just one remote to rule them all!
