Will the items in this pack allow us to work with the remote control or do I still need to get an Ir receiver?

You do need to get the receiver. This package has motors and lights with a battery pack but not remote control receiver.

You can replace it with an RF remote, they actually put out an RF and an IR signal but you'll still have to point the remote at the receiver if your receiver isn't RF capable. Keep in mind even if your receiver is RF capable you'll still need to go into the settings on it and link it to the remote in order for RF to work if you even want it to.

Rusty, the remote has to be aimed at the radio, I believe it is infrared. It will not work any other way. I have tried it.

The tv remote part works with virtually any IR remote capable device as it has learning function. The keyboard will probably not work though.

The "receiver" mentioned in the What's Included section refers to the IR receiver for the included remote control. A DVR is not included.

This will work with any ac with infrared remote control. If the ir codes are not available built in you should be able to teach the unit the ir codes using the original remote.

Although I have not tried it myself, I read the owners manual and it does seem to indicate that you can use an IR remote with it. Like I said I haven't tried it myself so I'm not 100% sure..

It's just a repeater, so I would expect it to work with any infrared remote/source.

No you will have to get a universal remote. I use the Logitec Harmony. There are tons of different Harmony models that range from $40-$300 but even the cheapest one will control every ir device you own. Also its super simple to setup and highly configurable because you just plug it into your computer. So with that you you don't have to spend all day looking up remote device codes.

All of the items you listed were included with my purchase except the remote control.

It works with ANY IR remotes. It just redirects the signal inside of a cabinet. If cabinet is open it won't work very well as it basically just shoots it back at you instead of bouncing off a cabinet wall back to the device.

As I recall, the kit included one HDMI cable. You will need more, depending on how you set the system up. Feel free to use the lowest cost HDMI cables you can find, for short distances they are just fine. . You will need one or two to connect to the inputs on the transmitter (like a cable box and a DVD player). You will need another if you plan on using the pass through feature. Then one on the receiver to connect to the remote TV.

They should work as long as your other setup relies on infrared for the connection.

Probably yes, I use an old "URC" universal remote to control both the (remote) HDMI source as well as the (local) HDMI receiver, just works.

There is also a IR receiver sold at Radio Shack that plugs into a USB port. Google around - there's some threads that discuss what device to use when you're setting up the Harmony.

The remote does need to be pointed directly at the IR receiver. However, the receiver can be located away from the TV or other equipment. The distance away is only limited by the length of the wires. So it could be the floor, ceiling or coffee table.

No, the remote in this package only works with this receiver and vice versa.
