How many devices can the ir remote learn?, I see it has tv/av button, does it learn 2 devices then?

You can teach functions to each button independently. They can be from multiple devices. But it's not like typical multi device remotes where the buttons take on all the functions from different devices automatically and then you switch between devices on the remote.

No - this is one input to many outputs. You need an HDMI Switch - "HDMI 5x1 5 Port Switch/Switcher with IR Remote Support 3D" copy this into the search there is one showing for about $12.99 and is part of Amazon prime, it should work - here is the link not sure if amazon will let me send to you: http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Switch-Switcher-Remote-Support/dp/B00264NZWS/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1360551386&sr=8-5&keywords=hdmi+switch This one allows you upto 5 inputs. Sounds like it shoud select automatically - if not does have manual. THis is probably more basic but depends how much $$ you want to spend for bells and whistles. Let me know if you have other questions. Good Luck.

Mine switches automatically. It reads one device. If you turn on another one, that one takes over. When you turn it off it goes back to the original one, or you can leave both devices on and use the remote to switch between the two. One of my two HDMI inputs on my tv stoped working, so this works great for me.

It does have a learn function. You have to have the TV on. Push Menu-settings-remote manager -tv code -learn.. Set front of the old remote to the left front side (there's a IR window square) follow the on screen instructions. I have done it, one of my TV's remotes wasn't in the list of remotes. I did get volume and mute to work, but couldn't get the power button to work. Mine was a Proscan TV, it didn't use any of the built in code-sets for Proscan or RCA.

Remote dongle? This is a dongle. I don't see how two dongle's would work. If you mean you want to use just any old remote? Then yes. This thing will work with any remote that sends regular old IR remote signals. No lights on it.

Hello Jeff, I don't know...my remote is an Xfinity remote. The device converts any IR signal to an RF signal and then again to IR received through the emitters. It should not matter which IR remote you have.

I tried using 4 remotes. 3 old TV remotes and one surround sound remote. It worked with them all.

No you will have to get a universal remote. I use the Logitec Harmony. There are tons of different Harmony models that range from $40-$300 but even the cheapest one will control every ir device you own. Also its super simple to setup and highly configurable because you just plug it into your computer. So with that you you don't have to spend all day looking up remote device codes.

The remote buttons are matched to individual receivers. I don't believe there is a way to operate more than one per button. Etekcity has a different product that can be configured, but the receivers don't have on/off buttons like this one does.

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..

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

It came with two remotes. Unknown if you can buy more. I have one of the devices plugged in on the second floor and the remote still works from the first floor so if you have separate floors you can leave one on each floor. Not sure if this helped.

This remote can learn from other remotes (you aim the two remotes at each other, tell this one to begin reading, then press the button on the other remote), so it does not actually need to know what the other remote even belongs to. I programmed some buttons this way, from remotes that it did not even know about. As long as the other remote is also infrared, it should work fine. I also have this remote turn on/off both my TV and my receiver at the same time with one keypress. It's a little slow (it takes about 2 or 3 seconds to complete the process each time you hit the "system power" button), so you have to make sure to keep the remote aimed at both sources until it's done, but it works fairly well.

I have an (old) harmony 720, hopefully the same holds for this one... You can add multiple different TVs to the device. Just put each TV in a different "activity". e.g. I have activities like "Watch TV (Fam Rm)", "Watch TV (Study)", "Watch TV (BR)". Selecting a device for just one activity turns on the devices for just that activity. If I recall, I had the option of choosing whether to turn off the unused devices. Mine is programmed with 3 different TVs, 3 different DVD players, 3 different VCRs, Cable box, audio receiver. So, I can use it to control every device in my house with activities for each room (mix of devices).

Logitech told me that all I needed was a single ir extender to add to my harmony one remote - and that would fix the problem. I haven't bought it yet, but I wanted to leave a comment, so people will have a little more info.

this is an IR extender device. Any IR signal that goes into it on one and will be replicated on the other. It does not know or care what manufacturer or remote the signal comes from. It is a dumb device in this instance. That is the best thing about it.there is no i_r device on the planet that it will not work with.if it doesn't work with any particular IR device, then it's either broken or the user set it up wrong.

Actually, I believe it is the receiver that learns from the remote. When the receiver is in "learn" mode and you press a button on a remote, the receiver picks up that signal and stores it as an authorized remote. The receiver does not transmit, only receives, so the remote can't really "learn" from the receiver because it cannot detect it.
