1

Join the same Wi-Fi

Connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi network as your TV or stick. If they are on different networks, this will not work.
2

Install the right app

For a Fire TV, install the Amazon Fire TV app from your phone’s store. For a Google TV, install the Google TV app. Both are free.
3

Open the app

Open it and sign in with the same account as your TV. That is your Amazon account for a Fire TV, or your Google account for a Google TV.
4

Choose your TV

Tap the name of your TV or stick in the list.
5

Enter the code

A code appears on your TV screen. Type it into your phone. You only do this once.
6

Use the remote

Your phone now shows a remote. Touch and slide on the screen to move around, and tap in the middle to select.
7

Use the keyboard

When a box appears on the TV, tap the keyboard picture on your phone. Now you can type, or paste what you copied from your email.
