can I use this remote when all controls for my TV are in another room

Yes, the device transmits a radio signal that will go through most walls. The receiver for these signals emits infared light pulses just like the remotes that came with your units in another room, so this remote must be placed so the light it emits is seen by the sensor on the units being controlled.

Generally, a yes. The remote transmits via UHF, then at the TV, converts back to IR to control your TV. Works well with Satellite or other set-top boxes.

I use one remote to control two separate strings under my kitchen cabinets. you can turn on one or both, proximity of the receivers will determine if all go on at the same time or you will have to aim at each controller so only one lights at a time.

You can program it to control two different TVs, or six for that matter, but the remote will need to be line of site to the TV you want to control since it still relies on Infrared, just as the factory remote for your TV does.

Technically you could, but the remote would be sending signals to both your media center PC and the receiver at the same time, so basically both devices would be responding to every key press, which would lead to some wonky results sometimes

you can use it in place of a cable box but you will have 2 TV sets playing the same program. this system only moves the signal it will not give you a separate control

Good question. I dont know. I bought two different kinds and use two separate remotes.

If you referring to TV remotes the answer is yes. We use two remotes for all our TVs and they operate on the same frequency and they don't interfere with each other. The remote is the transmitter and the TV is the receiver.

No, you will not loose any functionality. It has a universal remote menu to set up the standard remote to control your whole system if you want. Or if you already have a universal remote then you can program it to control everything on the TV. Gesture and voice control can still work if you want as well. I have mine turned off because it seems gimmicky to me.

You can use to teach function to program the remote to do almost anything as long as you have the original remote. If you do this and the buttons are not on the remote, you'll have to select which other buttons you want a program for that particular function.

I've looked, but it seems the answer is no. Even if you buy another complete set (I have 2), the remotes are not universal. In other words, I cannot use my bedroom remote to turn off my living room outlets and vice versa. I can only use the remote that came with the 3 outlets to control them. This contradicts what John says below, but it may be because I've purchased my units a year apart from each other. Maybe the new ones are on a different frequency or something.

No. The remote can only control devices that use an infra red remote (like a tv, receiver, dvd, etc.).

Yeah I would think so.. don't see why not. Just program another TV into the remote. Also I guess if you wanted it to do a multiple function command with other devices you could also program in a secondary Activity.

the xbox 360 media remote will work as any other tv control as well , i am not using it as tv remote but as xbox console remote, heremore info : http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/accessories/universal-media-remote

no you cannot, you can only control the receiver with the included remote. You would need a universal remote to control everything with one remote; however, there are no universal remotes at the moment that will control the Roku. . so even in your best case scenario you will need at least two because the Roku remote does not control volume at all. (I wish I had known this before I purchased everything for my new setup, seems to be a design fail)

The remote for this TV is for the TV only. You need to get a separate universal remote control if you want to control more than one component.
