One of the biggest complaints from business travelers are the germs encountered on trips. It’s not uncommon for employees to come home under the weather due to the long hours, confined time on flights, and stays in hotel rooms that service many.

Aside from taking extra vitamins and adding an Emergen-C packet to your water bottle, travelers can now avoid a small hotbed of germs…the hotel TV Remote.

LodgeNet Mobile has developed an app that works on iOS and Android operating systems. With a free download, make your smartphone device or tablet a mobile TV remote. The app works in any room connected to the service and the simple download takes place on the LodgeNet welcome screen on the hotel room TV set.

According to Mashable Tech, “Once downloaded and paired with your in-room TV, the app is simple, intuitive and convenient to use. Scrolling through channels is easier with than with a normal room remote. It’s also easier to navigate on-demand movie options. And billing movie purchases to either your room or credit card is another convenient step.”
