Abstract: Methods and systems for retrieving content on a content activation device are provided. A method includes connecting to a mobile device by a near field communication (NFC) connection. An indication of content being displayed on the mobile device may be received via the NFC connection. An instruction to retrieve a version of the content being displayed on the mobile device, from a source distinct from the mobile device may be transmitted via a wireless connection, to a content activation device. Additionally, a method includes connecting, by a mobile device, to a remote control by a near field communication (NFC) connection. An instruction to retrieve a first content displayed on the mobile device may be transmitted to the remote control. The instruction to retrieve the first content may be for a first version of the first content different from a second version of the first content displayed on the mobile device.
