Remote app and apple tv


The app I would like to talk about this week week is called "remote".  This app can be used much like a remote control for a TV can.  It is primarily used for controlling an apple tv, which is fantastic entertainment system.  The apple tv is using for watching TV shows and movies directly on your TV.  It can stream movies directly from the internet on netflix or other entertainment sites, stream movies and TV shows that you have stored on your computer, and it can even access internet sites like youtube. What the remote app can do is it can remotely control your apple tv so you do not have to use the remote that comes with it.  The remote that comes with the apple tv only allows for up and down controls which take a long time to type it the name of move/tv show that you want to watch on your apple tv.  Using your iPad, you can type in the name of the show that you want to watch and control the up and down movements of the show listings that you are viewing.  It essentially turns your iPad into a remote control.  It really is a great app and I recommend it, especially if you own or are thinking of owning an apple tv.
