Element TV remote app for iPhone

Yes. Simple TV Remote works with Element TVs that run Google TV and Roku TV. The platform depends on the model and the country, so check your exact model number. The free check in the app confirms it on your TV before you pay $5.99, once.

Yes, depending on the system your TV runs. Element Google TV models work with Google's free Google TV app and Roku TV models with the Roku app, and both work with Simple TV Remote. Element Xumo TV and TiVo models aren't on our list yet.

Look at the last letter of the model code: G means Google TV, R means Roku TV, C means Xumo TV and T means TiVo. The home screen tells you too.

Put the remote in pairing mode, then go to Settings > Remotes & Accessories > Pair remote or accessory and pick it from the list. If pairing keeps failing, unplug the TV for 10 seconds and try again. A phone remote can get you into that menu if the old remote is gone.

Simple Roku remotes use infrared and don't need pairing. For a Roku voice remote, unplug the TV for at least 5 seconds, plug it back in, and when the Home screen appears hold the pairing button for 5 seconds until the light flashes. If the remote has no pairing button, hold Back and Home for 5 seconds.

Not with a phone app. Google TV and Roku apps, and Simple TV Remote, all need the TV on your Wi-Fi first; Roku says its app can't find a TV that isn't online. Use a replacement remote to finish setup.

Open Settings > System > About on both Google TV and Roku TV models. You can also check the label on the back of the TV.

Yes. Your iPhone and the TV must be on the same home Wi-Fi network. Guest networks and Wi-Fi that keeps devices apart stop phone remotes from working.

Look at the home screen or the settings menu, which name the platform. Or type your model number into the checker on this page.

Look at the last letter of the model code: G = Google TV, R = Roku TV, C = Xumo TV, T = TiVo.

No. Checking your TV is free. If it works, unlock the app for $5.99 once. No ads, subscription or account.
