1. A method for controlling user equipment using a wireless communications device, comprising: receiving user input on the wireless communications device to create at least one media guidance application command for causing a user equipment device to modify playback of a media content currently being generated for display at the user equipment device, wherein the wireless communications device includes storage;transmitting, separately from a transmission of the at least one media guidance application command, a signal from the wireless communications device to the user equipment device;determining whether a response to the signal is received by the wireless communications device from the user equipment device;determining, at the wireless communication device, whether the user equipment device is able to receive the at least one media guidance application command based on whether the response to the signal is received by the wireless communications device;in response to determining that the user equipment device is not able to receive the at least one media guidance application command: saving the at least one media guidance application command on the storage of the wireless communications device;transmitting the at least one media guidance application command from the storage of the wireless communications device to the user equipment device after the user equipment device becomes accessible; andgenerating for display an indication, on the wireless communications device, that the at least one media guidance application command has been successfully received by the user equipment device. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: in response to determining that the user equipment device is able to receive the at least one media guidance application command, transmitting the at least one media guidance application command to the user equipment device. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein determining whether the user equipment device is able to receive the at least one media guidance application command comprises establishing a communication session with the user equipment device. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein determining whether the user equipment device is able to receive the at least one media guidance application command comprises pinging the user equipment device. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one media guidance application command is selected from the group consisting of setting a favorite channel, setting a reminder, setting a parental lock, scheduling a recording, and performing a search for media content. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving user input comprises receiving input via a touch sensitive screen on the wireless communications device. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating for display a confirmation screen on the wireless communications device after the at least one media guidance application command is transmitted to the user equipment device. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving one or more of an acknowledgement code, display screen, and search results on the wireless communications device after the user equipment device executes the at least one media guidance application command. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein saving the at least one media guidance application command comprises saving the at least one media guidance application command to a command queue. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein transmitting the at least one media guidance application command comprises transmitting a batch command to the user equipment device, wherein the batch command comprises one or more commands saved to the command queue. 11. A system for controlling user equipment using a wireless communications device, comprising: a wireless communications device; anduser equipment;wherein the wireless communications device includes storage, and wherein the wireless communications device is configured to: receive user input on the wireless communications device to create at least one media guidance application command for causing a user equipment device to modify playback of a media content currently being generated for display at the user equipment device;transmit, separately from a transmission of the at least one media guidance application command, a signal from the wireless communications device to the user equipment device;determine whether a response to the signal is received by the wireless communications device from the user equipment device;determine whether the user equipment device is able to receive the at least one media guidance application command based on whether the response to the signal is received by the wireless communications device;in response to determining that the user equipment device is not able to receive the at least one media guidance application command, the wireless communications device is configured to: save the at least one media guidance application command on storage on the wireless communications device;transmit the at least one media guidance application command from the storage on the wireless communications device to the user equipment device after the user equipment device becomes accessible; andgenerate for display an indication, on the wireless communications device, that the at least one media guidance application command has been successfully received by the user equipment device. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein in response to determining that the user equipment device is able to receive the at least one media guidance application command, the wireless communications device is configured to transmit the at least one media guidance application command to the user equipment device. 13. The system of claim 11, wherein determining whether the user equipment device is able to receive the at least one media guidance application command comprises establishing a communication session with the user equipment device. 14. The system of claim 11, wherein determining whether the user equipment device is able to receive the at least one media guidance application command comprises pinging the user equipment device. 15. The system of claim 11, wherein the at least one media guidance application command is selected from the group consisting of setting a favorite channel, setting a reminder, setting a parental lock, scheduling a recording, and performing a search for media content. 16. The system of claim 11, wherein receiving user input comprises receiving input via a touch sensitive screen on the wireless communications device. 17. The system of claim 11, wherein the wireless communications device is further configured to generate for display a confirmation screen on the wireless communications device after the at least one media guidance application command is transmitted to the user equipment device. 18. The system of claim 11, wherein the wireless communications device is further configured to receive one or more of an acknowledgement code, a display screen, and search results after the user equipment device executes the at least one media guidance application command. 19. The system of claim 11, wherein saving the at least one media guidance application command comprises saving the at least one media guidance application command to a command queue. 20. The system of claim 19, wherein transmitting the at least one media guidance application command comprises transmitting a batch command to the user equipment device, wherein the batch command comprises one or more commands saved to the command queue.
