Many of us have a Tata Sky connection for their TVs. If you are using the HD+ version of the set top box, you can install the Tata Sky Mobile app on your Android devices. And what do you achieve ? For starters, you need not search for your remote. Once you load the app, your mobile screen becomes your full function remote. Whatever you can do on your set top box remote, you can do from your mobile phone ! Channel changing is easier because the Channel icons are visible when you browse through them. Very neat.
Besides, if you are on vacation, or at a different location and you wish to record any of your favourite programs, you can do so from your mobile phone directly. Just ensure that your set top box is powered on, when you are away.
So your mobile phone is now also your remote – what next ?
