Getting Started

Open TVRE and select your TV brand

Choose from Samsung, LG, Roku, Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV, Hisense, TCL, or Xbox.

Make sure your iPhone and TV are on the same Wi-Fi

TVRE works entirely over your local network. Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.

Let TVRE scan for your TV

On the Remote screen, you'll see a segmented control at the top of the remote area. Tap "D-Pad", "Touchpad", or "Numpad" to switch modes instantly. Your preference is saved for your next session.

Go to the Cast tab, choose Photo or Video, and select media from your library. TVRE temporarily runs a local server on your iPhone to stream the file directly to your TV. Your media never leaves your home network.

Wake-on-LAN requires your TV to support it and have it enabled in its settings. The TV's MAC address must be saved from a previous successful connection. Also ensure your router supports WoL broadcasts on the local network.

Open the Settings app on your iPhone → tap your Apple ID at the top → Subscriptions → find TVRE → tap Cancel Subscription. You'll retain access until the end of your current billing period.

No. TVRE operates entirely on your local Wi-Fi network and does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. All communication happens directly between your iPhone and your TV. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

TVRE currently supports Samsung, LG, Roku, Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV, Hisense VIDAA, TCL, and Xbox. If your TV runs Roku OS or Android TV under the hood (many brands do), it may still be compatible. Try selecting the matching OS as the brand.
