## Description

The **Dish TV Remote** Chrome extension transforms your smartphone into a fully functional remote control for Dish TV set-top boxes. Designed to mimic the original remote, it allows you to manage your Dish SD or HD box conveniently without needing an internet connection—only an IR blaster is required. The app features all original remote buttons including volume controls, along with added functionalities like vibration feedback on button presses and an intuitive user interface.

This unofficial remote provides a compact app size and supports most smartphones with built-in IR transmitters, particularly Redmi/Mi devices. While it uses no internet for control, internet connectivity is only needed for advertisements. The app offers a handy solution when your physical remote is lost or damaged, enabling you to regain full command of your live TV viewing experience instantly.
