Is the remote IR or RF

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

The remote is IR bur it has built in wifi so your phone or tablet can control this device.

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.

Yes - The UHF/IR remote uses a repeater IR bug in front of the Dish receiver. Any other IR transmitter can also trigger the receiver as long as it can see the receiver's IR receptor.

There is not. I have mine behind my TV, and it works fine. I think that it may be using RF, rather than IR, but would have to double-check.

I don't think the RX101 does IR .... Just Blue Tooth. I've not had any issues with my various remotes since adding the RX101... But, I don't think any are IR.

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.

IR is line of sight. If you can't see the sensor it won't work. That goes for any IR receiver. You would need RF (radio frequency).

No, its not IR enabled. Also, you should know, we installed these at a client site and they went bad after about 8 months. We had to replace them and eat the costs. Not recommended.

The remote uses a radio frequency to control the unit. It works quite well through walls and doors.

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.

Use IR only or get an addressable remote and rf base station. This remote does not have a dress a bowl RF

Not sure. Once I received it and figured out it was an IR device (needing line of sight) not radio wireless I returned it.

The remote that came with the UHF to ir unit. Works well in our RV through walls. To turn TV on and off and adjust volume we use the TV remote.

The LX2 model includes an RF dongle, the LX1 does not. RF is supposed to be a better signal than IR.

If you have the RF base units installed in both viewing areas, each will pick up RF transmissions from either remote if it is within range. You might try taking one of the RF base units out of one viewing area so that it becomes IR (line of sight) only. You may need to do that in both areas to prevent this "crosstalk"---hope this helps....

I agree with Chris, I've only used the RF transmitter to broadcast the sound the radio of our vehicle. The IR should work just fine.

It is not RF-capable out of the box. Easily fixed by adding the 6160-RF keypad. This is what I run, and it works perfectly.

Be sure the remote control you are trying to extend is an IR type and not a VHF/UHF type.
