Hope someone can help with this. A friend's parents have lost the ability to use the remote to control the TV. They're apparently well looked after in other areas with multiple care and family visits per day, but this is frustrating them.
Any way to switch the TV on and change channel via the internet, so the family can help them out with this when they're not there? I did see this https://caavo.com/ but not sure it's available in the UK
You could do it with a Broadlink RM4 Pro. It's an RF/IR transmitter that is controllable via an app. You won't however know for sure that it has actually worked. If the TV was switched off at the wall for example, you wouldn't know.
That looks ideal - many thanks
Not the answer you're looking for maybe but if its a case of the remote being complicated rather than not being able to operate it at all you can buy replacement remotes that are a lot simpler to use - just volume up/down and channel up/down so that theres no drama with getting confused by the remote or accidentally messing up settings.

I did think of that as an alternative (or likely parallel) suggestion - appreciate the reply
