There is a way to turn on TVs and decoders with a single remote control: only technicians know how to do it. To find out more, continue reading below.

Remote control decoder and TV

Since the introduction of the decoder to turn on the TV you need two remote controls. Not everyone, however, because those who have a latest generation TV do not need this device to be affixed close to be able to watch television safely. It is different for those who have it.

Those who have the decoder connected to the TV know well that it is a device that has its own remote control. You must therefore first turn on with the TV remote control and then continue with that of the decoder. For many, it’s a hassle to have to use two different remotes every time.

Precisely for this reason, the technicians have a solution that could simplify everything. In fact, they have a method that you can use to start turning on the television and decoder with just one remote. If you want to find out, you just have to continue reading below in the next paragraph.

A single remote control to turn on the TV and decoder

As we have just said, those who have a television with a decoder know well that they have to use two remote controls. However, we are here to explain how to use just one. Thanks to the method of the technicians. Many decoders used also have other functions and in fact allow you to connect to the internet making the TV Smart.

So if you connect the television via the decoder to the internet and free streaming services, you will no longer have to use two remote controls. In fact, it is also possible to watch television through the applications of the networks that allow you to see everything live.

Turn on TVs and set-top boxes with just one remote control

Of course, it is not an easy step to explain to everyone, especially perhaps to the most denied with technology. With this category we do not only indicate older people because it certainly does not depend on age. There are many elderly people who can move very well between smartphones and new technologies.

On the other hand, some younger people, sometimes even just because of a lack of patience, do not make an effort to understand more. It will therefore be enough to connect the television to an internet network in order to make it Smart even though it is not. In this way, the remote control is doubled and you can only use the decoder’s remote control.

Other more technical method

Then there is also another method that is certainly more technical. To use a single remote control, you need to check compatibility with HDMI-CEC technology. Although it is possible, there are few panels that respond to this compatibility and therefore it becomes difficult to connect the two remote controls.

It is not a very easy step to do for everyone even if it can be easy for someone who knows technology well. You have to plug in the HDMI cable, turn on the TV and activate the feature in the settings. You will need to move the source to which the remote control is connected.
