Use the IR Remote App to Control Kodak TV
If you use a Kodak TV powered by Linux OS and it doesn’t have WiFi, use the IR remote app to control it. The IR remote apps work through infrared signals, so there is no need for an internet connection. However, you need an Android phone with an IR blaster for the app to communicate with your Kodak TV.
Visit the Play Store on your smartphone and find the compatible IR remote app for your Kodak TV. Here are some of the best IR remote apps to control Kodak TV.
After the installation, launch the app and choose your Kodak TV remote. Press the Power button on the app, and your TV should turn off. If not, select the next remote and press the Power button. Repeat the process until you find the working remote for your TV. Once your TV turns off, you can press the Power button again and start controlling your Kodak TV using other buttons.
