Are you thinking of ways to use the Seiki TV without a remote? This guide is for you. Seiki TVs run with different operating systems so that the remote app will vary with respect to the model. However, the advantage of using the remote app is that you don’t need to spend a single penny. In this article, we have demonstrated the steps to connect the remote app to your Seiki TV and use it to control it.
Control the Seiki Android or Google TV using the Google TV App
As a prerequisite, connect your Seiki TV to WiFi. Make sure it is connected to the same WiFi network as your smartphone.
1. Install the Google TV app on your Android or iPhone from the native app store.
Note: Some Android smartphones have a built-in Google TV app that can be found on the notification panel.
2. Run the Google TV application, grant storage access, and allow the app’s terms & policies.
3. Once the app’s home screen appears, hit the Remote or Connect icon.
4. Allow the pop-up permissions, and the app will start scanning for nearby devices.
5. Choose your Seiki TV from the list and note the code on the TV screen.
6. Type the code on the app and hit the Pair button. Seiki TV is now paired with the Google TV app.
Using the remote interface, click the controlling icons to operate your Seiki Google or Android TV.
Control the Seiki webOS TV using the LG ThinQ App
If your Seiki TV runs on webOS, you can use the LG ThinQ app to manage your TV functions. Initially, connect your Seiki TV and smartphone to the same WiFi network.
1. Download the LG ThinQ app on your Android or iPhone.
2. Run the LG ThinQ remote app and go to the home screen.
3. Press the Add a Device icon and click on Select Device.
4. Choose the product as a TV and select your Seiki TV from the list.
5. At the next moment, a code will appear on the TV screen.
6. Enter the code to make your Seiki webOS TV pair with the LG ThinQ app.
7. Navigate to the app’s home screen, and you will see the Seiki TV name that you added. Click on it.
8. The remote control interface will open. By pressing the icons on the app, you can operate your Seiki webOS TV on your smartphone.
Use IR Remote Apps to Control your Seiki TV
If you don’t have a WiFi connection, you can use the IR remote app instead of WiFi-based remote apps. To do so, check whether you own an Android smartphone with a built-in IR blaster. If so, install the IR remote app on your Android mobile phone and pair it with your Seiki TV with the app’s prompts.
Run the remote app and aim the smartphone towards your Seiki TV. Press the Power icon, and your Seiki TV will turn off. If that happens, the remote paring is successful. Press the Power icon in the app again to turn the Seiki TV on. Then, use the rest of the controlling icons to manage the Seiki TV functions.
