    Method 1: Use the Physical Buttons on Hisense TV

    The primary method of using the TV when you’ve lost a remote is via the physical buttons. Every Hisense TV has a power button along with buttons for various functions like Input, Volume, Channel, and Settings without a remote. You can press these buttons and use the TV based on your requirements.

    If you find the physical buttons difficult to navigate, you can use the Hisense TV remote app to control them. As stated above, Hisense TV is known for its variety of OS, and each TV has its dedicated remote app. However, a third-party remote app named RemoteNOW supports all Hisense Smart TV models.

    Method 3: Using IR Apps

    Besides using the WiFi apps to control your Hisense Smart TV, there are a few IR apps available on the Google Play Store. Using this IR app, you can easily use Hisense TV without a remote or WiFi. However, before using these apps, make sure your Android smartphone has an IR blaster built-in.

    After checking the compatibility, install any IR apps from the Play Store. After that, point your smartphone toward your Hisense TV and start changing channels, navigating to settings, and more without using an actual remote.

    Method 4: Use Hisense TV with External Devices

    Like other smart TVs, Hisense also supports controlling the TV using certain external navigation devices. If you have these devices with you, then follow the below steps to connect and use them.

    Universal Remote

    If you have difficulty using the original remote controller, switching to a universal remote control is the next best option. Universal remotes are the best replacement for native Hisense TV remotes and usually have the same features as the original remotes. Beyond purchasing it, pair it with the Hisense TV remote codes and start using the TV.

    Another yet simpler method of using a TV without a remote is using voice assistants. If you have any Alexa-enabled devices, then the process is simple. You can use assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant by pairing the Hisense remote app on your smartphone. Upon pairing it, you can easily provoke voice commands according to your choice and use the Hisense Smart TV.

    By following any of the above-mentioned methods, you can easily control your Hisense TV without using an actual remote controller.
