Remote Control for Sky/Directv

Remote Control for Sky/Directv turns your Android phone into a single, convenient remote for Sky and DirecTV receivers as well as TVs, DVD/Blu-ray players, home theater systems and other AV devices. This app is ideal for anyone who wants to replace multiple physical remotes with one on-screen controller: it requires Android 4.4 or higher and works on devices that include an infrared (IR) emitter while Wi-Fi support is planned for a future update. Compatibility spans many set-top box brands and popular smartphone models, although not every IR-capable device is guaranteed to work.
