If the Bush TV remote has become dysfunctional, you may wonder how to turn it on without a remote. In such cases, you can use the TV’s physical power button, Bush TV remote apps, voice assistant, or a gaming console to switch it on. This article explains the easy methods to power on the Bush TV without a remote controller.
Quick Way to Turn On Bush TV – Physical Power Button
All Bush TVs come with a dedicated power button. By pressing the Power button, you can instantly switch on your Bush TV. Similarly, by pressing the Power key, you can turn the Bush TV off. To adjust the TV volume, press the Vol+/- keys, and to change channels, press the CH+/- keys.
Smart Way to Turn On Bush TV – Remote Apps
Luckily, you can turn your smartphone into a virtual remote controller for your TV. To do this, know your TV operating system. If you own a Bush TV running on the Android operating system, install the Google TV app on your smartphone. If you own a Bush Fire TV model, get the Amazon Fire TV app. After installing the app, connect the smartphone and Bush TV to the same WiFi. Then, run the Google TV app and pair your Bush TV. Open the remote interface and simply press the Power button. Your Bush TV will turn on.
TV OS Model | Remote App |
---|---|
Bush Android TV | Google TV App [Play Store / App Store] |
Bush Fire TV | Amazon Fire TV [Play Store / App Store] |
Users with Bush TV running on Linux or old operating systems can use the IR remote apps. Ensure your smartphone has a built-in IR blaster, and get the IR remote app that supports your TV. Launch the app on your smartphone and get the remote interface. Point the smartphone towards the TV and click the Power button. The remote will be paired. Again, hit the Power button to turn on your Bush TV.
Handsfree Way to Turn On Bush TV – Voice Assistants
The latest Bush TV models, running on Android and Fire operating systems, come with voice support by default. So, if you own a new Bush TV and have already enabled the voice function, you can easily turn on your TV by saying a voice command. Open the remote app and click the Mic/Voice button. Then, say, “Turn on Bush TV.”
Use a Gaming Console to Turn On Bush TV
If you own a gaming console like PS4, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch, you can turn on your TV using it. To do so, open Settings on your Bush TV and enable the HDMI-CEC feature. Similarly, enable CEC Device Control on your gaming console. From now on, if you turn off the console, it will also power off the Bush TV. Likewise, turning on the gaming console will switch on the Bush TV as well.
Likewise, you can use the above techniques to turn on your TV in the absence of a physical remote. Optionally, try a universal remote as a replacement remote for your Bush TV. All you need to do is program a universal remote to the Bush TV with suitable codes. Then, press the Power key on a universal remote to switch on your Bush TV.
