There are conflicting responses in the Q&A section whether this remote includes USB dongle. So as of Sept 2014 is the USB dongle included?

It certainly is not clear. I ordered one and did not get the RF dongle. Rather than return it, I ordered one directly from Weaknees.com after I asked them if they included the dongle. Their response was that they always include the dongle when the ship stock to Amazon, however it all gets mixed together at Amazon's warehouses so it becomes a crap shoot. The unit I ordered directly was in two parts: the TiVo Slide Pro remote in a box and the RF dongle separately packaged in a plastic bag.

It seems like it's random -- lots of people in the reviews indicated they DID get one. I *didn't*. But I called Tivo, and they're sending a dongle for free.

When I bought it, the dongle was included because I did not have the latest greatest TIVO. The Roamio's and I think some of the later models do not require it so it may not be included in the one you buy.....

No dongle needed. That's a reason I got this one. My desk is so small having to have something sticking out from my computer was a problem.

Can't really answer your question because the dongle I received from the seller didn't work at all... I found it to be to much trouble to try and return the item...

My remote did NOT come with a dongle. I relied on the responses found here. Not sure why others got a dongle. I did not.

I would say you need the USB controller because one side is USB the other fits into the sign it self like say a phone USB plug in other words I don't see a way to plug it in without the USB. Also it changes the speed and the flashing type. Of course that can also be done with the remote control. I use mine at the Library I work at, we love it, we get comments on it all the time.

Isn't a dongle for bluetooth? Unless you're smart TV is bluetooth, it won't work.

Mine came with a dongle for free traffic for life. However, they also advertise for a deluxe version (HD) they try to sell for an annual charge. However, the basic one works fine for me. Hope this helps.

Not sure about a dongle but it works great with flash drives viewing manuals and pictures

Yes. This uses the standard external remote jack...next to the usb connecter. btw, this works great. I love it. Good range...at least 25 ft away I would say.

Yes it did. You will have to purchase the dongle separately though. This is the part you plug into the back of the T.V.. Have a great day:)

Yes, included is a typically short dongle cord with a USB, a micro USB and a male stereo plug. The speaker's audio output jack just needs a standard stereo male to pass along a signal to a house system or whatever.

Bluetooth and Wi-FI and yes it does come with the Bluetooth Dongle. Works very well.

Remote came with mine. If you're buying an "open box" or "factory refurbished" unit, then it might be missing a component, such as the remote, however it would have to state that in the description.

No, this dongle is purely for audio. It enumerates over USB as an audio device rather than as a Bluetooth device; the dongle contains all of the Bluetooth functionality inside (a.k.a. "full-stack") so that the BT part is basically invisible to the host.

No dongle. Strictly connects via Bluetooth wireless. I'm not too sure if you could also use it with your home PC. If it had Bluetooth capability. The main reason I got mine was to use it with the Surface.

No, it does not come with it. It also needs the LG dongle in order for the smart tv / wifi to work. It does work without it though.
