1) Can you please explain "blaster" vs "receiver"? 2) Does it attach to the TV? 3) If so, is normal usage of TV remote still possible.

1)This device is nothing more than a infra-red amplifier. It receives the signal from the remote control on the large head, amplify it, and transmit it out again on the transmitter LED on the small head. The large head (receiver) should be placed facing the TV room, the small head(transmitter) should be glued to the receiving area of the device you want to control/improve reception. Look for an indication on the front of the device saying "IR" or "IR receiver" or an area with a red/purple acrylic cover. Stick the small head right on it. 2)It doesn't need to attached to your tv. It doesn't need to attached to anything other than a USB power supply (wall adapter provided) or any USB port for that matter. If your TV has a USB port, you can use it instead. 3)Your TV remote, or any other device's remote will work as usual. The device you attached the small head to will improve reception, as expected.

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.

The original remote is one of a kind . The others do not work with this model. Sorry.

If you place the subwoofer behind the tv you need to be able to make the remote work. The subwofer and the reciever are the same. You have to see the reciever for the remote to work.

Hi, I searched for that option too but apparently the remote doesn't come with it, what I use now is the Android app "Google TV remote" which works pretty much the same as the physical remote control but this one has more features and there is one call "recall" which allows the function that you are looking for, this app is free and is better than the original remote control (if you have an android phone it will be very useful) Regards

Hey aMan-It is not. Your receiver operates on a a 303.875 MHz frequency and this remote operates on 300 MHz. If you are handy I can walk you through installing an updated receiver and which you remotes you need.Thanks...Matty

Keep in mind this only repeats commands from Logitech hubs. Since I'm not sure what your remote setup is, I cannot say for sure whether it will work in your setup. I use the blaster to extend my Logitech RF system to an additional IR device that's not in plain sight of my DVR, receiver, Apple TV and Blu-Ray. I believe it will only work with the Logitech Hub.

I think the remote actually connects via bluetooth. But you cannot connect other bluetooth devices to the tv.

Yes,,when programmed it throws off other programmed remotes. We don't use it!!

What are the uses that are most affected by the RF signal? I see these posts a lot, and have a decent knowledge of RF, but I'm curious why people complain about this so much.Many traditional remotes without RF will still allow you to control a device out of your line of sight as long as it is in proximity (same room) to you.In any event, my understanding is that the Harmony One does not have RF. I'm waiting for somebody to reply to my question on the top review to clear this up.

I have this in a room where I have no cable box. It is in the basement. I didn't want to pay for another receiver. You will need a remote for it or use one from another TV. It works great. You do have to watch whatever is on the TV it is connected to but you can change the channels from there.

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...I put in an entirely new garage opener and have one of these that I would sell...plantstation1@yahoo.com

Sorry about that. I bought 2 remotes from Coby and they did not work. I tried to use Master remotes I had already and they did not work. I threw the TV out. It was a waste of my time. Coby did nothing!!! Don't buy a Coby anything!

Not much to work on here with the question, but I'll give it a try. The first and most obvious thing I would ask is whether you had an RF remote paired with the receiver before? The reason I ask is because the receiver in that case would still be in RF mode and not paired to the new receiver. You need to get the receiver back into IR mode and then go through the setup process with the new remote. If the receiver is in IR mode, then you have a broken remote.

If this has the same receiver as this hand held devise, your good to go. I bought another, just the remote by itself, just to have an extra remote and it works fine. You have to pair the new remote thats all.

I use a Roku, Apple TV, etc. and connect them all to the TV with an HDMI cable, then let the pass through to the receiver handle the rest. Just remember you can shut off the TV speakers and run surround only if you'd like. There's a button for that on the remote. In my case, I paired this with s 6500 series Samsung TV, so the remote can handle both, which is convenient. Great receiver / DVD unit for the money.

So if I want to watch TV the receiver must be turned on? How can I hook up the cables so the TV and it's speakers work with the cable, and the extra speakers work only when the receiver is turned on?
