The remote control for the TV where we are staying tonight worked long enough to turn the TV on, and no longer

There are no channel changing or volume control buttons on this JVC. Not even a power button!

What to do?

Found "TV remote" app on my phone, programmed it for this JVC and all is well again.

Will buy a couple of AAA batteries tomorrow.

I might even use it at home when MrsD is watching bloody coronation street at high volume! 😁

@NormanDunbar @JackTheCat when I travelled a lot with work in the US, the remote control application (on a Nokia mobile - infra Red) was great. It allowed televisions in bars to be turned down and often off - to the satisfaction of many and puzzlement of the bar staff.

@Wen @JackTheCat I used to have an app called TV Begone. It would send out the codes for all makes of TV or I could select the particular make. Most wonderful app!

I always wanted to use it in a pub when England were about to score in a football game, but being a state registered coward prevented me. That and a probable early death! 😐

EDIT: The autocorrupt is strong today!

@NormanDunbar don't you have a child laying around that you can used?

@woollypigs I don't think children transmit the correct IR codes for the TV. 😁
