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.

    That’s right but it doesn’t necessarily mean that access is impossible, just need the codes for the box instead of the TV assuming it has an infrared sensor on the box.
