Control android tv box with android phone (no root)

Hi guys I bought a Himedia h8 tv box and would like to control it with my phone, specifically for typing etc as using the remote is quite cumbersome. Is there an app to install? I have tried tablet remote but i am unable to install it from the play store on the h8 as it is not "compatible". It needs to work over wifi as there is no bluetooth on this tv box.
If its easier, can I use the IR blaster??
Also prefer to not root. My note 2 is rooted however don't wanna root my tab s or dads s4. The tv box is not rooted.
Thanks

[Q] Installing & Running Android TV apps on a tablet?

I have a Nvidia Shield Tablet running Android 5.0. This tablet has HDMI so I think it would be useful if I could run some of the apps designed for Android TV on it.
I was able to extract the APKs from the Nexus Player factory image. LeanbackLauncher, LeanbackKeyboard, etc. None will install properly on the tablet though. Install fails without any details. Eventually it would also be nice to get the Netflix TV app (com.netflix.ninja) too.
Has anybody had success doing this, or ideas on how to accomplish it?

Hisense H7 TV on VIDAA

Anyone got the Hisense H7 55" TV running VIDAA. It's a jelly bean based android OS TV. http://www.hisense-usa.com/tvs/H7/55/51
I already installed Kodi (XBMC) on it and got it going with my NAS setup...
just wondering if there are any thing else I can do to this TV.
Thanks
I got Kodi/Xbmc installed, I'm using BeyondXbmc the forked version for Android sticks installed and I'm getting stuttering issues on playback for 1channel. Is there a fix for this? I'm thinking about installing SPMC from the Play Store and trying it out instead. Also does the Hisense H7 play off an external HDD through usb? I'm curious because I have one lying around and would like to know if I can play through the usb port plug and play.

MX10 | Install Android TV OS (?)

Hey Community,
is there a way to install Android TV OS on the MX10 box?
I couldn't find anything on google so far, I really need a version of Android TV for it, because otherwise it is useless for me.
I just want to use the Remote control and don't want to use any mouse or keyboard.
Btw. if there is no chance to install a Android TV OS for it, is there a way to start some Android TV apps like netflix, without a error message (Device is not supported)?
Thanks
Regards
