Can I use an app instead of a TV Remote?

[Bernie1]

The buttons on my remote are starting to not work. Is there an app to use on my phone that I can download? I am trying to cut down on costs and the receiver is older so I don't want to buy another remote.

Yeah it works on iOS and Android, but it doesn’t have complete functionality as the receiver. The picture quality is merely 2.1GB/h instead of 3 for 1080P unless you cast to your TV, and there’s no 4K.

What TV package do you have right now? Have you considered switching to the starter pack only or plus the minimum a la carte?

Can you share the make and model of your receiver?

You can use the Bell Fibe TV app to control a receiver using your mobile device as a remote.
