Could you build this?

Partial The iOS UI and trial/payment flow are easy to vibe-code, but making the remote work across many TV brands depends on reverse-engineering or implementing each vendor's local control protocol, which is fiddly and brand-specific.

What it would actually take: Build a native iOS app (SwiftUI) with a local network discovery layer (SSDP/mDNS) and per-brand adapters: Roku ECP over HTTP, Samsung and LG websocket/REST APIs, Android TV and Fire TV ADB or IP control, and others. The hard part is getting each brand's undocumented or changing local API right and keeping it working across firmware updates, which requires hands-on testing with many physical TVs.
