## Description

Remote Control Dish Cable Box is a versatile Chrome extension that allows users to manage their Dish or local cable Set Top Boxes directly from their mobile devices. Supporting popular Set Top Box brands including DVB, Tata Sky, Videocon, SITI, Sun, Hathway, and DEN, this extension brings comprehensive remote control functionality at your fingertips.

With features like power on/off, mute/unmute, channel number inputs, volume controls, and directional navigation buttons, users can enjoy an intuitive and convenient way to operate their Set Top Boxes without the need for a physical remote. Note that this app requires your phone to have an infrared sensor to function properly. Although not an official DD Free Dish remote, it aims to provide a better user experience for controlling a wide range of cable and satellite receivers.
