IR Blaster

The last time when one of my Television remote was not working, i had to search a lot in the market to find a remote from the same brand. I couldn't find one but had to do with the universal remote available in the market. So, universal remote is not new to us. But have you heard of using your phone as universal remote? This is what exactly IR Blaster do. IR blaster emulates a infrared remote control that can tune your tune as normal remote do. This IR blaster is bundled into app kind of which can be used to synch your phone to TV. Using this IR blaster you can control your DVD set, TV, Cable box and Home theater system. This IR Blaster kind of thing was present in initial NOKIA phones which didn't click. But with the latest smartphones like Galaxy S4, HTC ONE, HTC ONE Mini including this app, time to use it and replace your remote.
