does the remote use radio wave or infrared. Infrared requires pointing it to unit, radio turns on/off without pointing

It does use an infrared signal and needs the visual contact to work properly. ... BB

No. I tried this and did not work, which makes sense because it uses IR sensor/signals. Sorry for the delay in responding.

I think the remote on this thing may be RF (not infrared). It does not require a line of sight from the remote to the surge suppressor to turn it on & off.

no, typical a unit such as DVD/TV/Receiver receives a IR signal from a remote. This is used to connect to a unit that sends a signal such that it mimics the IR from a remote thus changing channels etc. This would also connect to an IR repeater to let you hide your IR devices which are line of sight behind a curtain or door.

There is no IR receiver that I know of or see. Remote capability is via Z-wave communication.

Yes, but you won't be able to us the IR remote, you'll have to use the RF remote. Also, the control box is attached to the power cord so you'll have to install an AC outlet behind the drywall to plug it in.

Did you go to advanced settings from the program remote option in the settings menu? Menu, Settings & Help, Settings, Remote Control, Program Remote, Advanced, IR/RF Setup, Remote Type

No it does not. there is a IR port that i'm assuming is for a "infrared" remote to be connected to it

Use IR only or get an addressable remote and rf base station. This remote does not have a dress a bowl RF

Yes - The UHF/IR remote uses a repeater IR bug in front of the Dish receiver. Any other IR transmitter can also trigger the receiver as long as it can see the receiver's IR receptor.

I only turned it on/off using the front button or removing power. I do not need a remote control so did not try this function and am not even sure if it has an IR receiver.

Thanks for your question. Line of sight with Roku is not necessary for the remote to work. If you have an infrared (IR) light remote, the light emitted from the remote bounces off the ceiling or the wall behind the television and then hits Roku's sensor. By the way, if your TV is located in a room with a two-story high ceiling, you will need to get a Roku 2 or Roku 3 for the remote to work.

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.

I believe that the remote has to have direct "eye" contact with your devices although I know there are extenders that allow for signals to be conveyed to devices thru a wired IR sensor.

yes you have to set up ir control with FM TUNER and the remote or you can use original remote

The wireless remote works via infra-red like your TV remote does. I've found that it will function through one of those tinted plastic stereo covers, but, mine will only work if I am oriented toward the radio face. I cannot, for example, use the remote to reliably control the radio if I am standing at the bow of my center console due to the radio's face orientation aft. Edit: This just popped in my head, but, you can probably use one of those IR repeaters common in home stereo and mount the receiver in a more conducive location.

Remotes will work without an IR repeater. The cabinet has glass doors on the front allowing remotes to work without a repeater
