LodgeNet, the largest provider of hotel television entertainment has launched an app that will turn any iPhone, iPad or Android phone into a hotel remote control.
The app allows the user to turn the television on from inside or outside of the room or select programming.
LodgeNet says approximately 2000 hotels will be able to use the app.

Although this app creates remote control functionality, it opens the door to adding other functions in the future - check-in/check-out, placing food orders, contacting the valet. Adding convenience features for guests could speed up the process of arriving or leaving.
Yes, you can do many of these things from a hotel television remote but... you have to be in the room.
