Apple Recommends For

Controlling your entertainment system with your iPhone, iPad, or iPad touch using Beacon and Dijit's free Universal Remote app.

Imagine being able to control your TV or stereo using your always-handy iPhone. Or your iPod touch. Or your iPad.

Beacon pairs with your iOS device via Bluetooth and works with Dijit's Universal Remote App to put complete control of your home entertainment center in the palm of your hand.

No dongles. No wires. No cables.

Control your home entertainment system using the Universal Remote App on your Multi-Touch display.

Quick and easy setup

The free Dijit app uses a library of constantly updated device codes to simplify setup for your TV, set-top box, sound system, media players, and more. There's even an integrated learning feature for components not yet included in Dijit's library.

Simple pairing

Bluetooth pairing is simple and puts you just a few taps away from using Dijit's intuitive Program Guide and your touchscreen-based device to change channels, volumes, input, set your DVR, and more.

Highlights

  • Turn your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad into a universal remote control
  • Blends unobtrusively with any decor
  • Works with Dijit's Universal Remote app, free from the App Store
  • Setup is simple and intuitive
  • No wires or power cables, runs on four AA batteries

Did You Notice?

Your entertainment system expects a remote control to speak to it via infrared signals. Your iOS device speaks Bluetooth. Beacon acts as a bridge between them. No wires. No dongles.

    Answer

    Not sure about Foxtel, but I tossed my Beacon. It is slow and unresponsive (especially with the XBOX). And going through 4 AA batteries about every 2 weeks really blew! The customizable layouts and everything are sweet, but functionality is pitiful. Customer service closed my support request saying "If you are having intermittent use, try turning all the lights off, it works better in low light situations." What a crock!

    For functionality I say go with FLPR. Works great!     …More
