Even if you don't have Google TV (or Google play movies & TV) app available in your country, you can use the new remote feature that's been recently added to the app.

I thought it was only available to the 14 countries the app recently expanded to.

Before going forward, make sure that on your TV:

The Android TV remote service is updated to version 5.0
Gboard is updated to version 11.0

Now, on your phone,

Enable the Google TV (or google play movies & TV) app from play store
An update will be available after enabling (in my phone, the app updated from 4.25.14 to 4.28.46; for some people it got updated to 4.28.48)
There will be a "TV remote" option in quick settings tile. Tap on it & the remote will open.
If you're connected to wi-fi, it will automatically search for your TV & then you can pair it with a 6-digit passcode. (duh!)

Thanks to u/juzmafia & his post. The comment section is really helpful, too.

Some things to keep in mind:

If you don't want to use the new remote, don't update the Android TV remote service to version 5.0. You can't use the old remote after the update.
For some people, the remote didn't appear in quick settings tile immediately after the update; they had to restart the phone.
Also for some people, tapping on the remote icon doesn't work, but tap & hold does.
The app might get disabled automatically (it happened to me). You have to re-enable it to use the remote.

TV Remote Pair

My Remote feature works with the Chromecast plugged in but my TV (Sony Bravia 4k) won't pair directly with my phone. Could anyone point me to an article/video or any kind of fix? The error says "could not pair due to incorrect passcode" despite them matching.

Thanks!
