Only one star because it has two terrible glitches (I am using it in Japan with a Digital HiVision Tuner (BDZ-ZW550)). 1: In the channel list it doesn't appear ALL the CS channels (there are no channel 290 (SKY STAGE), 301 (エンタメ〜テレビ), 317 (KBS WORLD), 318 (MNET), 800 (Sports Live+) nor 801 (Sky Chan)). And 2. If I try to playback in my smartphone a program recorded with the Digital HiVision Tuner (for instance using the option "View on Mobile" to watch CNN or BBC World), it is impossible to switch the sound source (音声切り替え). Because of this problem, I am forced to hear it in both languages (English and Japanese) simultaneously. The result is that I can't understand nothing at all. I hope the Sony developers can fix these two problems ASAP.

One of the few apps out there that does what it says in the tin, everytime. Couldn't ask for any more. Edit: After about six months of the app no longer working, devs appear to have added a device registration function that is allowing connection again. Best remote app out there - devs never drop this app!

Nice and useful app, but I think when the user opens the app, you should check the tv list, if you got only one TV at the list, immediately connect to that and show the remote controler. It makes your app more easy-to-use... (or add an option for us to choose what to see at the lunch time)
