How to remove tv controls from lock screen

[axel_2078]

Last night, I was messing around with the Samsung tv remote control app and got it set up to work with my tv and DirecTV box. Awesome, right? The only problem is that now my lock has giant controls for my tv and DirecTV box. I don't want this on my lock screen. How do I get rid of it? I can't long press to remove it. I searched around for this and the only thing I could find was in regard to the S4 and it said you had to go into the WatchOn app and uncheck an option to display it on your lock screen. I don't have WatchOn installed. The only Samsung apps that are installed are the ones that came on the device. How do I fix this?

The WatchOn application was a pre installed application for the Galaxy S4.

Correct. This was not installed on the S5, so I had to figure out myself.  It was an option under the settings of the remote control itself.
