How can I use my phone to control my Xumo TV?

If you have a Xumo TV, you can use your phone or tablet as a remote control. There are two versions of the Xumo TV remote app, and the setup process depends on which TV you have.

There are two ways to identify your version:

1. Press the button on your remote or scroll down to the Settings tile on your home screen.
   • If the first item in the Settings menu is Closed captions, follow the instructions for the Berry version.
   • If the first item in the Settings menu is Picture and sound, follow the instructions for the Teal version.
2. Look for one of the following logos in the top-left corner of your TV screen:

•  

  • If you see this logo, follow the instructions for the Berry version. 

    

  • If you see this logo, follow the instructions for the Teal version. 

    

Once you've identified your version, follow the corresponding instructions below.

Berry version: Using your phone as a remote

If you have the Berry version, you can use the Xumo TV mobile app for iOS to control your TV.

Note: The Xumo TV mobile app for iOS only works with Xumo TVs. It cannot be paired with other Xumo devices like the Xumo Stream Box.

What you can do:

• Navigate the Xumo platform with a navigation pad
• Play, pause, fast forward and rewind
• Adjust the volume or mute your TV
• Use a number pad to go directly to channels (via cable or antenna)

The Xumo TV mobile app lets you use your smartphone or tablet as a second remote, giving you more control and flexibility when watching TV. You can pair as many mobile devices as you'd like with your TV, as long as each one has the Xumo TV app installed.

What you’ll need:

• A Xumo TV
• A reliable WiFi network — your TV and mobile device must be on the same network to pair
• A stable internet connection (WiFi or cellular) on your mobile device

Note: Your TV must be connected to the internet and on the same network as your mobile device for the app to pair successfully.

3. Make sure your TV is online and connected to the same WiFi network as your mobile device.
4. Select your TV from the list of available devices.
