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

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.

Yes it does. I have this remote and the USB extension dock is part of the package.

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.

I'm not the most techey guy but what I can tell you is it sends a HDMI signal just like any HDMI signal from a VCR, DVD or cable box. If your TV works with any of the items I have listed then the dongle will work on your TV.

I have Windows 8.1 and the dongle works, no problems. I did need to install the software (CD was enclosed with the dongle), but it took just a couple of minutes and it has been working great!

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.

Yes, it is an upgrade from LE and AI, and, No, it does not come with a USB dongle. Thanks.

No it is just a dongle that plugs into a regular sized usb port. Great product for the price though.

OK, it clearly states under the first paragraph of the Product Description section: "Plus a wireless multimedia remote, with a built-in mini-keyboard and mouse, is included, enabling you to browse the web wirelessly from the comfort of your chair or sofa." And, in the "At A Glance" section, the last item reads "Compact handheld wireless multimedia remote with a built-in mini-keyboard and mouse" So. where is my included remote?? Had anyone gotten one?

Not sure what old dongle you have, but this takes minimal setup. You select which keyboard key you'd like to link to a remote button, and then press that button on the remote. Simple, easy.As for a blinking light - I don't believe so. Mine is hidden under my tv, and I've never noticed any sort of light coming from that area.

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.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "remote dongle". This will work with IR remotes, so if you have an older IR remote meant to be used with the PC, this should work. Ironically, it does not work well with genuine Windows Media Center or XBox media remotes.

Yes its a Dongle. However when hooked up The ICON for the H/phone and Mic is reversed and its a bit odd not to see those I Cons while listening no effect on performance.

Is that to say that you can use the mouse and keyboard w/o the included dongle? I'm looking for a bluetooth set to use w/ the integrated bluetoth. Thanks.

Check with the vendor you are buying it from. They can supply you the software if they want to. If you buy, make sure the software is included. It is a great remote.

Yes, comes with dongle for your tv's USB port (also Velcro for mounting! Ooh futuristic!)

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.
