Is the remote required or can I tune my stations using some included software package?

You can best operate the radio with the software (SDR Sharp). I havent even used the remote to be honest.

I just got into software defined radio as a sort of hobby. As far as the remote goes you don't use it when using the DVB-T usb stick as a SDR radio. The DVB-T usb stick is normally a TV usb stick used overseas. But they use the PAL TV system. The US uses the NTSC TV system. As far as I know you can't use this stick for TV in the US. You tune in frequencies in the SDR software manually.

The remote is useless with this device when used as SDR...it was probably meant for its original application as a TV receiver. There is no software included with the radio, but several software options are available for free online. I have it running on Windows 7 and Linux, while a colleague has it running on his MAC.

if your decide is not in their database, you can teach it by using your existing remote. That's how setup my ancient DVB tuner.

I will try here but it would be best if you had the instructions. Tune in the station you want. Press and hold ENTER for 2 seconds. When it displays ENETER PRESET NUMBER press PRESET + or - to select the present number, then press ENTER.

Yes, all you need is a rabbit ear antenna, or an old-style UHF antenna, or something more modern (coax cable input). It really pulls in the stations, but the placement of the antenna may need adjustment for some stations.

yes you have to set up ir control with FM TUNER and the remote or you can use original remote

Not sure, my radio didn't come with a remote, never thought to ask if I could purchase one. You might want to ask Amazon.....

You can program the radio manually with the keypad. Either direct entry or scan a range of frequencies until the signal is found.

Yes, frontier has to be involved -- it is the internet portal for almost every internet tuner, whether you visit the site or not. On the Sangean after presetting a station it automatically goes through this portal. By going there and registering you can add any source on the internet as long as you knows the EXACT URL -- you can add through "my added stations". I've done this, and it's pretty easy. Even on the Magnum Dynalab 807T which is a top-of-the-line internet tuner ($4500.00!) which I also own, all internet choices have to go through the frontier portal. If you can download the Sangean user manual, see page 12 for the instructions. This is available at http://www.sangean.com/support/download_content.asp?did=119 . Good luck, and good listening!

You will need the SiriusXM SXV200v1 tuner. The cable needed is included with the unit so it is plug and play.

Thank you so much for the clear answer. I have been trying to find a universal learning remote to handle my dish dual tuner situation for a while. I thought I had it hear but clearly I don't. Thanks for the help.

Yes! The easiest way to program this radio is RT SYSTEMS SOFTWARE. The Software does all the offsets for you. It is set up like a spreadsheet and each channel goes across. Hope this helps!

Is either the software on the box or the satellite antenna house to get adjusted

The remote is actually the ONLY way you can preset radio stations. Because the remote is absolutely necessary for ALL functions I would recommend buying another remote in case the original remote goes bad.

I use the free CHIRP software. Very easy, works perfectly. Note: import radio settings from radio into the software first then change the settings, and save and upload back into the radios.

Yes, and it is surprisingly sensitive. I get numerous stations in a fringe area. And it has station presets. Handy gadget.

Sry to max the range look for a plastic screw on the receiver electronics board, use a plastic or wooden "screwdriver" to turn it. Just sand something to a bevel. Have someone walk away hitting the remote button till it won't work then use the screw to fine tune it. Unless the receiver is digital but not likely at this price point.
