Thanks for the info. In case you were able to configure successfully, please do let us knw... Might come in handy, in case the remote falters. I've not had any issues with the remote ever since I started using it... Hope it stays the same... :)

Unfortunately it uses RF technology. Which is good in that you don't need line of sight to operate the device, but I have yet to figure out if I can configure my universal remote (which uses RF) to operate it.

Logitech told me that all I needed was a single ir extender to add to my harmony one remote - and that would fix the problem. I haven't bought it yet, but I wanted to leave a comment, so people will have a little more info.

Hi, is not a universal remote as you think. Only the D-pad, and the tree bottons above it and the power work on IR, the rest of the remote is RF. The current use I found for that is to turn on the tv, select the source and then use the RF to control the pc. If you just want to power on multiple devices it can be programmed for each button speratley but you'll have very limited to 0 control of your other devices

It's designed to relay IR commands from a variety of remotes, received by / at their system's single sensor, through their system either directly or remotely via a cat 5 or 6 cable, to their module and then on to multiple devices adjacent to that module. So I see 2 limitations that would prevent this from working on multiple TVs in multiple rooms. 1st there is only one sensor to receive the IR commands, and second, while the brains (central module) of the system can be remote from the "sensor", the central module can't be too far from the various components that you want to control. Seems like you'd need a second unit.

I have to tell you I do not use it for games. I use it for a second computer I have in my room. When I first go the remote I thought it was not what I wanted and it was so cheap it did not pay to send it back. But I decided to give it a try and I am glad I did it works great. I am sure you can call the company that makes it to see of it does. If not Logiteck has some great remotes and they are not hard to program. And there is always someone to help you work out a problem. Good luck.

No, you shouldn't need a different remote to use the Logitech Extender. The system 'reads' the (infrared - IR) signal from your remote, sends it by wire to your enclosed cabinet and equipment, and rebroadcasts the IR signal near your equipment. It's worked with the half dozen different remotes I've had, no problem at all.

Personally, I like to use a programmable remote - one where the functions of a component's remote can be 'learned' by the universal remote. No fooling around with 'remote codes'. You do the setup and programing right on the new remote. I have a couple of Osiris MX-350 IR/RF remotes. You can find one on Amazon here: Universal Remote Control MX-350 Osiris IR/RF Remote Control ( 8056 ) The only drawback is that it doesn't do Bluetooth, like for a PS3.

You should be able to program it yourself. I only had problems when using the dish network cable box. If you need help the Logitech representatives in Support are very helpful. I never have used them myself but I have customers that have. The harmony ultimate needs a little bit more finesse then the Harmony 900 series but it is still a very nice remote.

No, the remote is bluetooth and communicates with the hub, which then sends the IR info.

Im my application, the units are so close that the DISH box actually sees the IR signal from the other side of the room, but to the best of my knowledge, there is no IR passed from the unit. The only way to use a DISH remote would be if you use the UHF remote supplied with their dual channel products for the second room receivers. Hope this helps.

Reading Writer, your parenthetical closing isn't a selling point for everybody if that's what you meant it to be. Just sayin' :-)Agree about the remote. I've got a fancy Logitech universal learning remote and name brand stuff (e.g. Bose, Panasonic, Toshiba) and I *still* have to break out a second remote now and then. Not a crisis. I'm old enough to remember when you actually had to get off your butt to adjust the volume or change the channel so maybe others have different perspectives.

Just like everybody else on the discussion, just go out and buy yourself a quality learning remote. Personally, I have the Logitech Harmony 767 and I did the learning feature to program the remote. It is extremely simple at programming, all you have to do is plug in the remote into the USB port of ur computer, log into the logitech software, and follow the directions. I picked up my logitech remote from CL for super cheap and it controls everything... EVEN my speed controlled ceiling fans and lights!!! All the functions work PERFECTLY with the tv.

I have one of these. I see no way to program the lights beyond setting the color from the remote. The remote has buttons for on/off, brighter/dimmer, 16 different colors, flash, strobe, fade, and smooth. I don't know what the flash, strobe, fade, or smooth buttons do. The light can only be controlled by the included infrared remote. There is no other control. One of the settings allows it to fade between different colors automatically. It's not really a stage light, but it does put out colored light.

I think you can check the Logitech database here: logitech.com/harmony/components I have two Harmony remotes and really like them. Best lineup of universal remotes on the market. I have had others, but they always end up omitting functions. The Harmony method of configuring the remotes using the internet is far superior to the numerical codes. I would not buy any universal remote other than Harmony.

no. if the codes are not in the logitech database, you will need to get a higher end with a duo IR feature in the remote

i am sorry, but i have no clue as to what you are talking about. i bought my ir receiver to get my remote signal in another room. that is all i know about them.

I don't think a phone puts out infrared (IR) which is what all tv's currently use for their remotes. So for a phone to me used as a remote (it puts out wifi) you need an adapter that hooks to your TV, several companies make these Logitech has the Harmony Home Hub, http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/harmony-home-hub?crid=60 that from what I can tell, would do what you want. I have no first hand experience, but did some research not long ago with the same idea.
