Your I-Pad or I-Phone would likely need an IR dongle though.

I had a similar experience last Sat. at a Chevy dealership waiting room. MSNBC Had some clown named "Col. Jacobs" on just ripping Obama to shreds. My Samsung S4 has IR built in and I have a few free remote apps loaded. I was able to turn the channel and lock it out. It's really useful because it's completely anonymous and gets around the problem of them hiding the remote from the public.

Works in bars, waiting rooms and annoying relatives homes. Helps avoids arguments.
