I figured out how to watch youtube on my TV and control it with my phone.

Anyways....sometimes after an ad break the video comes back on and the closed caption is on.

I then have to manually shut it off. Sometimes it happens numerous times and its annoying as shit.

Anyways to stop this?

Sell the phone and shoot the TV?

Sorry, my friend; my technology outer limit is to "kind of" be able to operate the microwave. The threat of starvation creates cutting-edge innovation, in my case.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
I watch YouTube on the TV and control it with the TV remote. Then I can do the TRS forum on my phone at the same time.

I can use the remote too but i can press the little wifi with a box symbol on the youtube app and it transmits to my tv through the youtube function on my tv. Its alot eaiser to search stuff with the phone then the remote....and i can still browse the web and stuff.

I need to try that. I thought you were just using the "screen mirror" function to show your phone display on the tv.

Maybe it just depends on what you're watching on the TV:

The Outer Limits.jpg


There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture.

We are controlling transmission.


If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper.

We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical.

We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity.

For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear.

We repeat: There is nothing wrong with your television set.

You are about to participate in a great adventure.

You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits.



Did you try moving the rabbit ears around?

I understand. I have a remote that came with my tv and since i dont gave cable, or even watch tv, it turns the tv on and the tv automatically hooks to the xbox channel and call of duty or forza comes on.

Thats the extent of my magical new smart tv experience. Tv works and picture is years better then my old tv from 2010 so i am happy.

We weren't allowed to watch tv, except when weather was bad or sunday after church.when kungfu theatre was on. Otherwise, mom said the outside is where kids are supposed to be, running and playing.

What if you add adblock plus so you don't have to watch the ads?

Samsung smart TV and Samsung phone with the smart things app. It is nice to be able to sit upstairs and when I tell my son to do something and he ignores me I can turn off the TV or mute it or play something from my phone onto the TV to give him the idea he needs to do what I ask of him, and I don't have to go downstairs.
