do i need to buy a special or different remote control with this product?

No, you shouldn't need a different remote to use the Logitech Extender. The system 'reads' the (infrared - IR) signal from your remote, sends it by wire to your enclosed cabinet and equipment, and rebroadcasts the IR signal near your equipment. It's worked with the half dozen different remotes I've had, no problem at all.

As far as I understand (in fact, I am convinced) that the remote control will come with its own receiver. You can not simply buy the control unit alone.

It has the capability, but you have to buy the remote separately. It is not expensive.

No remote was included with the one that I purchased but I understand that some are sold with a remote at a higher price.

You most likely would have to purchase the remote with its receiver/controller module as I've never seen them available separately. But at the low price these things cost, I already did that just to have a spare of each on hand.

It comes with a remote, that works well. I don't know if it will work with a universal remote

Hi Adrian, It does not come with a remote control. Remote is sold separetely or you might find it best to control using an iOS device.

No. Our unit did not come with remote control. It has a control panel on the front bottom.

it doesn't come with a remote controller. however it has digital buttons to control your gadgets (if I remember correctly). it has been a long time since I used it last.

nope, no remote, but I never needed one for my application of this product.

Not required, but it would make it better. We use the regular remote control and it works fine.

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

There is a remote available though I did not purchase that. From a quick search it appears you probably will need a remote receiver add-on to the Timer as well as the remote control.

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.

Probably not. Either way, this unit basically stops working after about a month of use...so you won't need the remote

No, this remote doesn't include any learning or universal remote features. It works as a media center remote (and also works to control an xbox 360).
