using iphone to change someone else's TV stations

[Jackie13]

My father is getting on in years, and is having increasing difficulty using his remote successfully. We both happen to use Optimum for cable and wireless. Is there any way that from my home, I can change his TV stations? Thanks! - Jack

Get a large format remote http/www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000P0QD6U/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687502&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00011R47U&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0547NJH07YJ4R3BTJ8QM http/www.magnifyingaids.com/TV_Remote_Controls
