When I got the phone, I assumed the IR Blaster was a gimmick and that I would hardly use it. Therefore it was not a selling point when buying the phone. Now I use it everyday. It is just so convenient to control my TV and be able to change channels while looking at the channel guide!

I wish there was a way for it to open the app directly to the remote to turn tv on. there are about 4-5 button presses I need to do to get the tv powered on
I dont know why but I cant get the app to work. It keeps saying that it cannot connect to the server. Ive seen other people mention this problem but I dont know if theres a fix for it yet.
Sucks because I would like to use the feature.
The IR blaster on this device is much better than the LG or Samsung versions, IMO... And when it works apparently (sorry for the luck). It does upset me that you can't add it to the lock screen like Samsung though. With viper, and probably other ways as well, you can add the shortcut to the lockscreen, so that save a few clicks.

There is a universal remote app that is amazing. Its 10 dollars but is worth every penny. I have been at the bar and turned off tv's as a joke. No one would think a phone can do that

Maybe I'm blind, but where is the guide button? Works great, but I can't figure out how to open up the guide on my AT&T U-Verse box.

What is it called exactly there are loads of apps titled simply ' universal remote'. Having an app like that that needs so little setup sounds pretty cool.

If you didn't sign up for an HTC account at start dot htc dot com then it will do that. Once I went through that, the TV app worked fine for me.
Can't put URL because I don't have enough posts.

You can set it as lock screen. I just did. Your doc at the bottom is the same as your lock screen so you have to change it to one of those.

Yeah, I didn't think of that. It would be nice if we could set up as a widget. Be nice to double tap and there's the remote. Since its stock on other OEMs, I'm hopeful someone will make it happen on one of the great ROMs we have to choose from.

Piracy
Good Afternoon.
The distribution of paid apps for "free" by any means is considered Piracy and is strictly prohibited on XDA.
If you are unsure whether or not the app you're linking others to or downloading is pirated material, try searching for it in the Playstore.
If it has a cost, then your "free download" is PIRATED
Thank you and have a nice day.

That's what I've been using. It has more remotes in it and you can input the hex codes. I've made some ir controlled switches and it has worked well for me.

Just an FYI, you can tap the add button on the top right in the TV app to set up any button from your controller. Don't think many people know that from reading this thread.

Hi guys i just wanted to share this awesome app. its called tv shows hd. for some reason they removed it from the market, but i just recently found it. the link is http://www.mobileboxs.info/android-apps/tv-shows-hd-v2-9-android/ just click on the megashare mirror and close all popups. click on where it says free download and close popups. then just wait for the countdown and download the apk. install it by either putting it on your sd card or going directly on your phone and downloading it and installing it like any other apk. Enjoy!!!!
UPDATE: I just found the newest version of this app which fixes the full screen problem...http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthread.php?647650-TV-Shows-HD-v3.0-(free) you have to register to get the app, but hey 10 seconds is a small price to pay for such an awesome app. And the show quality is AWESOME
UPDATE 2: I just figured out how to use dropbox . Here is a link to the apk... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25647849/TV Shows 3.0.apk
This is awesome. Not ALL shows work but A LOT do. Re-living my childhood watching Are you Afraid of the Dark.
"How I Met Your Mother" at the palm of my hands!!! Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
My pleasure guys just trying to spread the android love. If an episode doesn't work just close the app and restart it usually works for me
Any way to make it full screen?
I use "TV Shows Stream". The free version only allows a few shows, but if you just dish out a couple bucks for the paid app, it's well worth it. Tons of shows that update frequently.

i use this too and its awesome!! anybody know of a live tv app? the last one was taken over by the FBI and other legal stuff anybody find a new one?
To make it fullscreen, just long press near the top somewhere until you see the full screen icon on the top left corner
Tv shows stream is like 8 dollars now...too expensive if u ask me. Tv shows Hd is free and the quality is amazing
Whenever I do full screen like 10 seconds later it goes back to un-full screen. Anyone else experiencing this?

Cant get this damn app to work. It searches for servers and then gives me an ad and then black screen. Tried force stoppping, and retarting. Even rebooted my phone. Any advice? Do I need to be on Wifi or is 3G fine? On a rooted Droid X running 2.3.3.

I've had my phone for almost 2 weeks now.
First Android and touchscreen phone ever owned.
I have a few questions:
1) How do I clear only certain calls from my call history? I only see the option to clear all call history. On my old phone (Nokia N82) I was able to erase only certain calls made (for example, the last number dialed).
2) How do I lock my screen? Right now it autolocks on its own after a certain period of time. I want to lock it own my own like I could do on all my old phones.
3) What is the best FREE forum posting app out there?
Also, I tried to root my phone last weekend, but something went wrong and for a second I thought I had bricked my phone.
Thankfully, everything is okay but I do not plan to try it again for obvious reasons.

Can you also recommend a good FREE forum posting app?
I know there's Tapatalk, but it's not free.
1)when you go in to your call history just long press the number you want to delete and choose delete form call history
2) One suggestion is go to settings>security and change the lock time to immediate
Hope this helps
Rooting can be a scary thing but i just recommend reading up as much as you can, until you feel comfortable again. then try the Ace hack Kit. it what what i used and it was super simple.

I had the same issue. HTC TV app works flawlessly with both my TV (Toshiba) and my surround sound (Samsung) but will not do anything other than turn my X1 box off/on. I even tried the manual button program and it wouldn't work...maybe HTC issued an update recently? I'll have to try again when I get home today.

I'm not to familiar with writing tasked commands I know there was a plugin to use tasker to voice control the infrared remote on Samsung phones...anyone able to modify that plugin to work with The G3? It would be awesome to use commandr's tasker integration to be able to control the TV with my gwatch. I've been looking around and can't seem to find one that's already available.

Yes. I didn't get a chance to fully test its limits. The cool thing though unlike the moto x you can use any word you like. It doesn't have to be three syllables. In my text it was "hello" and it responded perfectly.
