Hi.

I'm developing a remote control app, and I want to implement a feature where the user can scan for all televisions on the local network to connect to one, then this will be displayed in a Table View.

So is there any way of listing all devices found on the local network?

Thanks.

I would implement a LAN scanner:

You could ping the local IP (usually starting 192.168.) and see who's responding.
