Do cable and DVR receivers' remotes work through the glass (can you control them with doors closed)?

They do, but I usually leave one door open. If you happen to aim and you hit the little wood dividers instead of glass it will not work. All in all, I love this stand, and I have a 60" sitting on it and it works fine.

No. To use a remote with Windows Media Center, MythTV, or whatever you'd also need an IR receiver. I've seen that combo on Amazon for $15.

Yes, as far as I can tell you need to hook your cable box to the costar to have cable. The costar remote does work for both the costar and cable controls, however, your cable remote will still work as well.

This comes with a remote infrared unit that you place in front of the device you want to control from the other room. I use it to control my channel input on my DirecTV receiver. You have to be sure and place it very close to the infrared receiver on your DVR in order for it to work properly. I bought two sets of these things and they work great!

This remote operates through furniture. I have one behind the bed , another behind a dresser and another behind a couch. Remote works without any problems through walls as well.

When you program your remote for your cable company remote. You will follow the same process. We for instance use the guide button to access out DVR features. You could also teach your remote commands from your cable remote control :)

My cabinet has glass doors and it works thru those. I don't know about wood doors. If the dog walks in front of the receiver when I'm trying to work the remote it doesn't work. I think you need a clear path

This device will control certain Dish Network receivers that are not UHF (radio frequency) equipped, such as the model 211. It will control any output from that receiver no matter where it's placed. My IR > UHF controller has been working flawlessly for two years controlling a TV in our bedroom from a receiver that's in the basement. The HDMI output from the receiver has a 35' cable to the HDMI input on the TV.

No, not at all. However, you cannot use the tv remote control function as it covers the power/lock button(where the IR blaster is located).

No. The remote can only control devices that use an infra red remote (like a tv, receiver, dvd, etc.).

Yes, using remote control software (that doesn't require someone at home to enter an access code, like Teamviewer

If you are looking for DVR controls, it should work. There are buttons that have similar colors to the same control buttons on remotes for most cable providers. Like Time Warner- the 'A' button that is normally used to confirm actions in DVR, works with the yellow button on this remote. I would check compatibility as well on the myHarmony site before purchasing though.

As far as I can tell, this product is only manually operated. I don't see a IR window on it and a remote isn't mentioned in the directions.

Yes you can. I had the same issue with my tivo remote. You can assign a function to any of the keys. It's been so long since I did mine, I don't remember how exactly, but I know it wasn't difficult. Perhaps the have an 800 support number you can call.

Correct. There are two outlets on the end that are not controlled (always on) so they can be used for the DVR. Note that there is a delay (half minute or so) after the "master" item is turned off before the "controlled" items go off.

Yes, you will have to align the shelf that the cable box is on so you can see it thru the glass window.

No. The remote is proprietary to the lock. I have two kfobs as well due to this. Only networked home automation systems can do both.
