How do you guys use a remote with this? If you were to use a FLIRC USB remote dongle wouldn't the cover have to be open all the time?

I use 2 usb 2.0 wire dongles, these are basically a long usb cable with a weighted end that sit anywhere. Whatever I use that is l-o-s I put into that and sit it beside or on top of the case.

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe I should spend $50 on one of the "majic" remotes. Not sure which one to get. They all appear to be limited in functions.

I think the remote is a sealed unit. Not sure. My remote is currently not working. I think the problem is with the plugin unit. It doesn't get warm to the touch like other plugin units I have had. Again not sure about my problem. I just realized you said charging , not changing. You should have a unit that plugs into a wall socket and then the remote plugs into the wall plugin unit. The red light on the remote comes on when the remote needs charging and goes out when the remote is fully charged. Hope that long answer helps. -Gene-

It comes with a remote control. I use it when I project my laptop screen. Although I have never used it for USB or SD card, I think it should work the same.

I got the remote control and a receiver that you plug into the USB port - it's on a flexible lead so that you can position it away from where you plug it in. Not sure how long it is as I have not extended it fully yet.

Logitech told me that all I needed was a single ir extender to add to my harmony one remote - and that would fix the problem. I haven't bought it yet, but I wanted to leave a comment, so people will have a little more info.

The remote i bought did not have the dongle included! make sure to check the description from the buyer, some will ship just the remote because not all TV's need the dongle.

Reading Writer, your parenthetical closing isn't a selling point for everybody if that's what you meant it to be. Just sayin' :-)Agree about the remote. I've got a fancy Logitech universal learning remote and name brand stuff (e.g. Bose, Panasonic, Toshiba) and I *still* have to break out a second remote now and then. Not a crisis. I'm old enough to remember when you actually had to get off your butt to adjust the volume or change the channel so maybe others have different perspectives.

I never got it to work. Period. It is useless. It's one of those prime examples of "you get what you pay for". I say get a really good one with a dongle and a laser pointer. It'll be worth your sanity.

You do not need to use a remote. It has two pull strings...one for fan (3 speeds & off) and one for the light. It has a low profile for added head room, but I have to admit, when I installed it, the light did not work. I have yet to take it apart to see if the wiring to the light came disconnected... I am hoping it is not bad. I NEED the light more than the fan in that room.

Reg remote but has media for usb drive access to play from usb drive plus ff, rw, play, pause etc for playing movie, music from usb drive. It is backlit but poorly so, remote functions well but feels very cheap. Nice if had better backlight.

you definitley could experience interference from other RF signals. I did research online and read that people had problems from other component remotes or neighbor's garage door openers. I did not have luck with an RF remote. We bought a logitech remote and had to run a wire to extend the base unit to the eye ball that sits on top of your tv. The wire was extremely cheap from amazon ($2 for 25 feet). I had my contractor who worked on my kitchen run the wire through the wall for me. My setup was a little more complicated. TV was hung on a wall in the family room and all components were in a laundry room close by but the two rooms did not share a wall. Good luck.

Yea. That is exactly how I have it set up. The dongle is plugged into my computer and the IR works independently for the TV.

Do you use a base station with rf to ir(do you point the remote to your equipment)? Also, you need the program from urc to troubleshoot/program and i doubt you can get it. If you can't find a local installer i might be able to help.

I don't know the answer to this and it would probably be best to contact the manufacturer about this. However, at one point I had 2 of these same models and the appeared to be on 2 different frequencies as I tried to use swap transmitters remotes with the USB parts and they were not interchangeable. Sorry, I can't be of any more help than that.

Not a dedicated one. What type of device are you wanting to control? I ask because when I'm watching DirecTV, the center circle button pod acts to take me up or down one channel at a time (or through time left and right), and the CH+- button cause me to page up and down. So while not dedicated, I get an effective pgup/dn button anyway. It's a learning remote, so presumably one could program any buttons to act as a page up key as well.

No, this is why the remote is present. If it worked like that, then the remote, itself, would be of no use or useless. You can simply set it to one settinf and hit the on and off button of the remote, which works just like that of a light switch.
