A free Sanyo TV remote app that's actually free

Our app is a top-rated free Sanyo remote for iPhone. It connects to your Sanyo Roku TV via HTTP REST (Roku ECP) (port 8060), with SSDP finding your TV automatically on the local network. No PIN or pairing code is required — the connection is instant. Features include full D-pad navigation, volume and mute, HDMI input switching, media playback controls, and streaming app launcher. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no ads — all features unlocked at no cost.

The app communicates entirely over your home Wi-Fi network using HTTP REST (Roku ECP) (port 8060). SSDP discovery finds your Sanyo Roku TV automatically — you don't need to enter an IP address or enable any special TV settings beyond ensuring your TV and iPhone are on the same Wi-Fi network. No PIN or pairing code is required — the connection is instant. The connection persists as long as both devices remain on the same network, making this a permanent wireless remote replacement for your Sanyo TV.

No. Our free Sanyo remote app requires no account, no subscription, no credit card, and has no ads. It communicates locally with your Sanyo Roku TV over your home Wi-Fi via HTTP REST (Roku ECP) (port 8060) — no cloud service is involved. All controls including D-pad, volume, HDMI switching, media playback, and streaming app launcher are permanently unlocked at zero cost. No pairing code needed on first connection.

None — the official Roku app instead. Funai publishes no Sanyo-branded remote app. On an FW Roku TV the first-party app is Roku’s, exactly as it is on the Philips sets from the same factory.

FW-series Sanyos follow the Roku convention: one button under the panel or on the rear. Short press powers on when the set is off; when it is on, short press opens the Input List and a long press powers down. Older non-Roku Sanyos instead carry a full button row, because there is no on-screen system to drive. On an FW Roku TV the network menu needs a remote or a phone — Ethernet is the way through first-time setup without either. On a pre-Roku Sanyo the button row is the whole interface and there is no network menu to reach.

The first thing to rule out on a Sanyo is age. Funai’s Roku line is recent; a Sanyo bought before it runs Funai’s own menu system and, on many models, has no network hardware to discover. No amount of router troubleshooting will make a non-networked panel appear. Check the model plate for the FW prefix and look for a Roku logo at boot. If it is an FW Roku set, the usual Roku causes apply — Control by mobile apps under Settings → System → Advanced system settings, and AP isolation on the router blocking SSDP. If it is not, infrared is the only route in.
