If I have an old remote dongle and want to get this for tidy sake, will it work without extra setup? Also, is there a light that blinks?

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.

There is no light. You can think of Flirc as a universal IR receiver. It doesn't matter what signals your remote puts out, as you can teach Flirc to understand whatever you have.

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.

There is no light/visual feedback from the device when buttons are pressed.

Remote dongle? This is a dongle. I don't see how two dongle's would work. If you mean you want to use just any old remote? Then yes. This thing will work with any remote that sends regular old IR remote signals. No lights on it.

Check if the blue light on the USB stub is still flashing. It it still flashes, sync is not okay. Normally for windows PC, it can take quite a while for the system to recognize the remote control.

Mine did ****NOT**** come with the dongle in the packaging, so I have a useless remote. I think it's a gamble as to if you get the dongle or not, so beware.

Really easy setup. There is a button on the remote and a button on the receiver. Press button on remote to put it into learn mode, the LED will light up. Press button on receiver to put it into learn mode, LED will also light up. Once both are lit you can press the button on the remote that you want to learn, might have to press it more than once. Once it syncs the LED's will turn off, now press the button again to verify that it is working.

That's the thousand dollar question for this cheap POS. I cannot get a reply from the seller. I can tell you, this product did not work for me. It worked for about 2 minutes, then it went static ridden, then went black, no signal. I could only assume that it's either truly a POS, or if it needs a power supply, since it has a plug for one. I don't know where to get a power supply to try to fully answer just your question, the remote will work once you plug in the receiver it comes with. I don't have a power supply, but my remote doss indeed work.

the remote was missing when I bought my house and this worked great...it will work with it's own receiver which is included...just plug it in and hook up a couple of wires...can't go wrong for $17

Hi you will have to download your music to an USB then plug it it into the light. After that the remote should be able to switch the songs. That's the only way the light will work. It also goes with the beat of your songs. Happy New Year! :)

I was wondering the same thing. It looks like it comes with a dongle, so if the drivers are there, I think it is.

It certainly is not clear. I ordered one and did not get the RF dongle. Rather than return it, I ordered one directly from Weaknees.com after I asked them if they included the dongle. Their response was that they always include the dongle when the ship stock to Amazon, however it all gets mixed together at Amazon's warehouses so it becomes a crap shoot. The unit I ordered directly was in two parts: the TiVo Slide Pro remote in a box and the RF dongle separately packaged in a plastic bag.

The pins in the connectors are very thin so be careful when plugging them in. Also, I would suggest that you be sure that the little black sensor is visible and in a position to receive the signal from the remote. If not, nothing is going to happen. When it finally does work, it is a great product.

yes. you need to choose the input associated with the connection you plugged it into. you may have an "input" button on your remote that will allow you to toggle through the choices.

There is a LED light on the remote Wizard that comes with the unit blinks at different rates according to how low the battery charge.This remote should be mounted on the wall by the unit.

C.T. Wallace is correct. I had the same problem, and then synced while wired, and *bing* - it found my BDT-320 and works nicely. (A lot better than the crap remote it comes with that you can't see in the dark.)

That's why I replaced mine. Lightning damaged the unit, and according to the manual if resetting it doesn't fix the problem, then the next step was to replace the logic board. Mine blink 5 times as well. Once I replaced it with a new board it worked (all wireless remotes will need to be reprogrammed to work with the new board, follow the manual on how to do that.) I can't say for sure if it will fix yours, best of luck.
