Does anyone use their Iphone as a universal remote? If so what app do you recommend. Is a plugin dongle needed for IOS6?
Thanks

iPhones don't have an IR blaster in them so whatever solution you get, you are going to have to get some companion hardware to actually control the TV set etc
Having said that many of the current TVs / Media centers ( software ones like Plex / XBMC etc ) have "remote control" apps. Kinda neat to be able to select the video you want to watch on your tablet (including thumbnails / synopsis etc) and having it output to the TV.
SXC is spot on about the IR bit.
May want to look at something like this Logitech device.

Thanks guys. I need one that I can carry to the Gym or when visiting the Inlaws to switch channels or turn off the tellies
sorry changing subject
i recall you had a sony tablet s with remote control features built in and learning capability, was it any good 9remote function only)? just wondering as i have considering the sucessor xperia s tablet (has tv hdmi output and keyboard/mouse via dock)
I still have it and the remote is fairly decent however I don't carry it around to the gym or the inlaws so its not too practical. I don't really use the tablet much as I am not a fan of the Android OS.

Picked up one of those and they don't seem to work with the tellies at the gym. Thanks for the tip.
