Could I use this to turn my PC into a universal remote?

No. It is an infrared receiver, not a transmitter. It will allow you to use a universal remote to control your PC.

A place called Iguana Works has USB IR Transcievers. Also versions where the emitters can be on an extension cord.

I am not sure what you are trying to do. The FLIRC mimics a USB keyboard. Using your PC, you program/map button pushes on your remote control to mimic button pushes on a keyboard. Then when you plug the FLIRC into your device, the device just sees the remote control button presses as keystrokes on a keyboard.

it has ten DIP Switches that toggle if your system uses a ten pin switch remote this will probably work.. The switches are internal and you will have to open up the remote case to set the switches, but it only takes a very small Phillips Head Screw driver to do so... it is quite easy to set the swtiches

Yes, but you may need to download (via the Internet) the appropriate driver for it.

Not sure, but doubt it. You probably want the In-LineLinc or the Micro On/Off Module.

You need a program leads and an adapter box to do what you want to do, I got the kit at a local computer store. Just go in and tell them what you need to do.

Yes, I've been using this remote on Linux for about 15 years now, on all kinds of distros. I'm currently using it on openelec.

It's hard to know the answer to that for certain, as I do not have that specific box, but they have many many devices in their online database that you use to program the remote, then you unhook it from your computer after it has been programmed based on the devices you selected. This is the best way to do a universal remote.

No you can't unfourtanately unless it can be used as a universal remote but there were no instructions to do that. Sorry

From what I understand the serial number is not specific to any one specific PC. Therefore you should be able to use the unit on multiple PC's.

I have no problems doing so. But it seems to be slower than my computer. They make small platform computers that have a remote that would probably be faster but more expensive.

I don't see why not. I used it as my primary remote but had no problem programing it.

I think you can integrate your existing remotes but I am not sure. You would need to go the the Genie website to search that question.

You mean to setup a universal remote to control the device? If so you'll need to get that from the manufacturer of the remote.

I'm actually not sure. This remote does not seem to be a good solution as a true universal remote. It is nice and small, but the buttons are lacking. Good luck.

I don't think so. There was a seperate spot to plug this in. Used for programming new remote only is my understanding

If you can figure it out, how to program it, it probably could. I think this remote is very poorly thought out. I have found it almost impossible to program for a system that includes tv, stereo, dvd, and cable box (u-verse). The instructions are worthless and I gave up on trying to get it work. I have went back to Logitech Harmony(s). They do not last very long, but very easy to program and work very simply. I am sorry that I wasted my money on the URC R40. And I am a pretty knowledgable person on computers and electronics; build pcs. Just my two cents worth.

Not unless you're adept at writing some software to do so. This device is used mainly for infrared remote control devices.
