Android TV remote compatibility?

by torrex112

Hi

So android TVs and TV boxes come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and the same can said for the remotes that come with them. Are remotes compatible other boxes/TVs? As far as I know, most of them work via Bluetooth, so does that mean that, any device that is Bluetooth enabled, a potential compatible device?

Excellent remote for Android TV. I use it with the Nvidia Shield. Programmed the IR keys for the power buttons on the projector and soundbar. Turns off all three with a single press.

Good question.

I have one of those wireless mini keyboards and it works well for searching and browsing, I still haven't found a way to shut the tv down though

Generally most Bluetooth remotes work with the boxes (might be some exceptions that I haven't crossed).

Some devices have IR as well. I opted to use it on my Jetstream because 8t has much more commends than a bare bones streaming remote.
