Will rotator work without using the IR remote? To my knowledge IR means line-of-sight. Remote operates the control box not the outdoor anttenna?

The control box operates the rotator by hardwired connection. The control box has a full keyboard on it and is fully functional without using the remote. The remote duplicates the keyboard on the control box. The IR remote has reasonable range in a room with walls that will reflect IR. I have a control box in the corner of a 25 x 30 ft room and the remote operates the control box when pointed anywhere in its general direction.

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..

If by IR you mean InfraRed, yes. It's a remote so there aren't any wires involved.

(You might want to note that for some strange reason this question is mistakenly being sent to people like me that bought the regular DirecTV "RC65" IR remote, not this IR/RF remote. That is why some think "antenna" refers to receiving broadcast stations over an antenna, entirely unrelated to this remote's IR antenna.)

The remote is IR. Have to point it at the receiver for it to work. Covering the end of the remote and turning away from the receiver, renders the remote nonoperable.

The tuner can be mounted out-of-sight, however, I think the IR receive should be mounted insight of the remote control in order to receive remote control signals to operate. Test this by hiding the IR receiver under the dash (before complete install) then see if it can pickup remote control commands.

The remote to base will work over a great distance but the base unit and the device being controlled, the DTV box must be in close proximity because base to DTV is an IR link.

Do you use a base station with rf to ir(do you point the remote to your equipment)? Also, you need the program from urc to troubleshoot/program and i doubt you can get it. If you can't find a local installer i might be able to help.

This doesn't have an RF remote right? I'm not a fan of the RF remote. My Harmony remote does only iR and it works at extreme angles. People who have RF remotes seem to be happy with only RF. I only need my remote to work while I'm sitting in front of the TV.Still trying to find if users will be able to install the Popbox software onto their PH A-200 and C-200 units. The original statement seemed to sound like you can, but I haven't seen any proof.

I'm pretty sure this isn't an IR remote but I may be wrong. The supplied remote is most likely set to work exclusively with these switches as they can operate through several walls & do not need to be aimed in any particular direction. The box they come in says "Able to resist high levels of interference and barriers such as: walls, glass, furniture, etc." So I doubt that you could accidentally operate them with any other remote or use the supplied remote for anything else - other than possibly self sterilization :-)

No it won't learn the IR code, it will learn individual commands, one at a time. This requires the old remote to be operable in order to learn them.

Keith is right, the old remote should work just fine (assuming that it has worked to control your vehicle entertainment system). The remote control is paired with your vehicle entertainment system (perhaps even just the DVD player), and has no relationship to your IR audio headsets. Even though the remote control can play and pause and stop the DVD player, the DVD player will continuously broadcast the infrared audio stream associated with whatever video is being sent to that audio player at any given moment. This infrared audio stream can be picked up by any infrared headsets within its field of view.

Yeah, the IR still works. Not sure if it changes the distance, though, I haven't done any formal testing. Works from my couch still, haha.

The extended IR receiver and the STB on-board IR receiver both accept commands from the remote. Others have reported the on-board receiver is disabled however mine is not...so this may be STB model specific.

This remote is both IR and RF. With that said, I'm not in a position to know whether this will work with your receiver.

The mounting hardware is included, but no rotator cable. You just need outdoor doorbell cable (three conductor) unless the rotator is going in the attic. Also, make sure your mast isn't too large in diameter.

I believe it comes with an IR remote, but we only use it, via a Harmony remote and it works pretty good.
