In fact you can use your smartphone to change the channel on nearly any TV. In the comments on that post some people talk about how to do it. Basically you need a smartphone with either builtin IR or use a USB-C IR blaster or if your phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack you can also try one of those but I’m not sure if the 3.5mm ones are as commonly supported.

    Really expensive for the use case.

    I considered it recently but then the flipper zero community was like “Spend $15 bucks for a universal remote man.”

      haha im in the middle of switching careers into IT/CS and I figured it would be a good investment for the future or at least to tinker with. I’ve just had to focus on other things for certs I need, so no time to really dive into it.

        I have one, for a year now or so. But haven’t use dit much really. And now the flipper one is announced. So I wished I waited and bought that one instead.
