I have HDMI on my TV and I also have Direct TV and a DVD player that I use a remote controlled switch box for since I only have one HDMI cable to the switch box. I have an Android Samsung Galaxy Note 4 cellphone which can be used a remote for the TV also. The speaker bulbs come with a remote as well and are can lights that will go above my TV and on the side of the room for surround sound effect. My only problem is how do I get the speakers to interact with a non Bluetooth TV?
