About Remote Control for Sky/Directv

Control your Sky, DirecTV, and home entertainment devices with a remote control app designed for Android. Remote Control for Sky/Directv transforms your smartphone into a universal remote, letting you manage your set-top box, TV, DVD player, home theater system, and Blu-ray device—all from one convenient application.

Powered by your device's infrared emitter, this app gives you seamless control over a wide range of receivers and brands. Whether you own a Sky receiver (SD, HDTV, DRX890i, HD International, Foxsat HDR, or Livre models) or any DirecTV model, the app delivers reliable command compatibility. Beyond Sky and DirecTV, it supports TiVo, AZbox, AZamerica, Duosat, Motorola, Xfinity, Samsung, Sony, Philips, Technicolor, Comcast, Arris, and many other major manufacturers.

Setup is straightforward for compatible Android devices running version 4.4 or higher. The app leverages your phone's built-in infrared hardware to emit control signals just like a traditional remote, eliminating the need for separate devices cluttering your entertainment space. Simply point your phone at your receiver or TV and navigate channels, adjust volume, and access menu functions with intuitive on-screen controls.

Compatibility spans a comprehensive list of Android smartphones, including recent and mid-range models from HTC, LG, Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, ZTE, Oppo, Motorola, and other manufacturers. Popular devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S6, LG G5, Huawei Honor 8, and Xiaomi Mi 5 are fully supported, along with dozens of others.

While the current version operates through infrared technology, future updates will introduce Wi-Fi-based control for devices equipped with that capability, expanding your options further. Note that some infrared-enabled phones may not be fully compatible due to hardware variations, so checking your specific device against the supported list is recommended.

Streamline your entertainment setup and enjoy the convenience of consolidated remote control. Remote Control for Sky/Directv puts your entire home entertainment system in your pocket.
