Stream photos and videos from your computer directly to your Hisense TV without unplugging cables or hunting for a lost remote. RemoteNOW transforms your PC into a control hub for compatible Hisense smart televisions, letting you manage apps, browse channels, and cast media using your keyboard and mouse instead of a handheld remote. Running RemoteNOW on a full computer keeps the app always accessible on a larger, stationary screen: ideal if your TV's original remote regularly disappears or stops responding.
RemoteNOW on PC version streamlines how you interact with your Hisense TV from your desk or living room. Instead of reaching for a physical remote or digging through your phone each time, the app stays the app open in a window alongside your work or entertainment. The desktop experience centralizes control: managing installed apps, reviewing broadcast schedules, and sending content to your TV all happen from one consistent interface.
Core Remote Functions
RemoteNOW replaces your traditional remote control for supported Hisense models. You navigate menus, adjust volume, and change channels using your keyboard and mouse: inputs that feel more precise and responsive than tapping a small screen. Voice commands are available on select TV models, letting you issue instructions aloud without touching your PC. The app displays your TV's current state and program information on your monitor, so you know what's happening on the television without looking away from your computer.
Browsing and Managing Apps
The app shows all applications installed on your Hisense TV directly on your PC screen. From your computer, you can launch, close, or organize these apps without fumbling with the TV's interface. This proves especially useful when you're already sitting at your desk and want to switch what's playing on your television: a few clicks replaces a hunt through menus or a search for the remote.
Casting Media to Your TV
RemoteNOW lets you send photos and videos stored on your computer to your Hisense TV with simple commands. Rather than transferring files to a phone or using cables, you select media directly from your PC and push it to the big screen. The Smart Connect feature integrates your desktop workflow with your television, making it natural to display content without switching devices or starting a separate casting app.
Checking TV Schedules
The app displays broadcast television channels and upcoming program information on your monitor. You can review what's on without turning to the TV itself, plan what to watch next, and switch channels from your keyboard. This schedule view on your PC keeps entertainment decisions organized in one place, especially useful if you prefer to plan your viewing while working or browsing online.

FAQ
Does RemoteNOW work with all Hisense TV models?
RemoteNOW supports specific Hisense televisions from 2018 and later. Compatible models include H6E, H60x0E, H8E, H80x0E, H9E, and H90x0E series in various screen sizes. Some models, particularly H8E and H80x0E series and above, support voice commands. Check your TV's model number against the supported list before installing the app.
What should I do if RemoteNOW won't connect to my TV?
Ensure your PC and TV are on the same network. The app requires both devices to be connected to the same LAN for communication. If the connection fails repeatedly, restart both your computer and television, then attempt to pair them again. Some users report connection issues after initial setup, restarting the app or re-pairing the devices often resolves the problem.
Can I use RemoteNOW if my TV is turned off?
RemoteNOW cannot turn on a television that is already powered down. The app requires your TV to be active before it can establish a connection or send commands. This means you'll need the physical remote or TV's power button to power on initially, then RemoteNOW takes over for everything else.
Will RemoteNOW work on my computer if I move between networks?
RemoteNOW depends on a stable connection between your PC and TV on the same local network. If your computer switches networks (such as moving between Wi-Fi connections or using a phone hotspot as an access point) the app may lose sight of your TV and fail to reconnect. Staying on a consistent home or office network provides the most reliable operation.
Does RemoteNOW work on Windows and other desktop operating systems?
RemoteNOW is designed for phones and tablets. Running it on a full computer requires an emulator or a specialized desktop client if available. Verify that your PC supports the installation method before proceeding, and test the connection with your Hisense TV right after setup to ensure stable operation.
