Overview
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.

does it work with foxtel?
- Asked by Emilie S from Sydney
- 13-May-2012
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! …- Answered by Troy K from Valley Springs
