It's very simple to open the application, control the television, and find the perfect show at any time of day. Users just need to tap "Watch on TV" and are able to screen cast any content from their device to their synced television.

Additionally, users can adjust any aspect of the audio and visual experience through the Peel Smart Remote. Swipe up, down, left or right to control volume, navigate through graphical menus, and play or pause. Users can even view their television schedule on the smart device without ever having to interrupt what they're currently watching.

Unlike other remotes, the Peel Smart Remote features ways to tag favorite shows and read television show thumbnails to learn more. In short, the Peel Remote provides an integrated mobile and tablet experience with the television.
