ELGR is, as it's name implies a simple remote control for LG TV's. It supports TV's made between 2012 and 2014 (does not work with WebOS). It interacts with the TV using network commands and should be a nice companion to your living room. The Windows Phone equivalent exists and you should see it available for download in the Windows Phone Store
Requirements
- the phone must be part of the same network as your TV. If there is no connection between the two, the app does not work
- the router in your network must support upnp and not block it. Some wireless routers block broadcast, this is needed to discover the tv
- the TV must be a SmartTV made by LG from 2012 onward but not running WebOS (aka 2014 TV's). Check the list below before purchasing
- the app cannot start the TV (tv limitation, nothing we can do) so start it with the original remote

- changing channels
