We got the Tv on advice from the shop and couldn't see the point of Android until discovering KODI, which is quite amazing. It was easily installed from the googgleplay store, and set up with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh3ijoO1rMg
We found that, with a few exceptions, Kodi can be controlled entirely with the Tv's own basic remote. It is mainly the commands 'menu', or 'c', for the Context Menus, and direct character input from a remote keyboard, which are missing.
We have the original remote set up with JP1 on a URC6440 universal remote, and have tried the Keymap Editor from the Kodi repository, but may I ask what keyboard would be suitable, or where to get the keyboard commands, for operating Kodi via the Sony Andoid Tv? (or if the Keymap Editor might serve after all)

Thanks for the quick reply. Google search suggests that TVsideview requires a more complex Sony remote or 'Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.' which, hard to believe, we do not have.
To clarify, our JP1 remotes can learn or copy a suitable configuration from any IR controller and, if I could find which remote IR keypad works, we could use that info to program the URC6440/OARUSB04G.

I know it is unusual, if not deviant :smileywink:, but we don't have any of them!
Could you possibly recommend a remote IR keypad which works with 2015 Sony Tvs?

I can highly recommend the logitech k400 plus. I was hoping for a smartphone/tablet solution, but there's nothing wrong with dedicated hardware.

A_Jeremy thanks. To be able just to use our universal remote IR I really wanted to find a IR keyboard which could teach its IR commands to that. It appears there is no such beasty as an IR keyboard, so I got the following bluetooth one which works. Mainly because it is very small and won't cause much extra clutter http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00N2JMFU4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
