Which third-party remote to use with a cheap android tv TV?

by Remy4409

Hi! I've got a cheap RCA Android tv, it works well but the remote is terrible and IR. Is it possible to use a third-party remote with it? Like bluetooth?

If the TV supports Bluetooth, yes. The MIBox remote or the Onn one would work. With the Onn, you can buy the non-4K device if you want as it is cheaper and uses the same remote. Then you have a backup 1080p device and a remote. Or get the 4K one for like $20 and do the same.

I am not sure that a Bluetooth remote can control the TV's IR functions, like power or volume.

I have a cheap Philips 4k TV in a bedroom and the included remote is horrible. I just slapped a TiVo Stream 4k on to it and used the TiVo remote. That remote CAN control the TV's power And volume.

The formuler remote is the best - they have a bluetooth version of it.

Unfortunately only works with formuler devices.
