Does the infrared remote controller require line of site to rotate the antenna?

Yes. I don't have to use my controller because the reception has been excellent with one setting. I picked a few extra channels. Reception has been much better than my older style antenna.

Antenna wire, dont remove it or shorten it, i tried and it quit receiving commands from the remote. Just keep it wrapped around the landing gear.

Yes it does. You have to be fairly close/direct line of site. But it does have a small remote.

I believe that the remote has to have direct "eye" contact with your devices although I know there are extenders that allow for signals to be conveyed to devices thru a wired IR sensor.

Not unless you're adept at writing some software to do so. This device is used mainly for infrared remote control devices.

That's correct, no line of sight is needed. The directions insert shows the signal bouncing off the ceiling or wall - and I guess that's what happens because I just point the remote slightly toward to ceiling and it works like a charm.

Thanks for your question. Line of sight with Roku is not necessary for the remote to work. If you have an infrared (IR) light remote, the light emitted from the remote bounces off the ceiling or the wall behind the television and then hits Roku's sensor. By the way, if your TV is located in a room with a two-story high ceiling, you will need to get a Roku 2 or Roku 3 for the remote to work.

No. it cannot be rotated remotely. I have scrapped mine after several months. Overall, quite worthless - especially over the internet. I can't recommend it.

The tuner can be mounted out-of-sight, however, I think the IR receive should be mounted insight of the remote control in order to receive remote control signals to operate. Test this by hiding the IR receiver under the dash (before complete install) then see if it can pickup remote control commands.

Hello M. Waiter:The sensor does not need direct line of site and can be mounted on the back of the TV and still "see" the remote commands. It has a velcro kit and a plastic clamp and screw for mounting the Eye in a door slot, toe-kick or behind a cabinet, speaker grill or even a wall plate. The primary intention of the Hot Link Pro sytem is to not drill a hole and still see remote controls. So hide the AV gear and Hide Hot Link Pro.Best regards,Marcus, Microsmith Inc.

Yes! However, you have to make sure you select the rotation tab in the settings menu.

Yes, of course, just like any other servo. But it does take some effort to open it up and modify it. If you are not OK with doing this, some can be found already modified. When modified usually the transmitter position determines speed and direction of rotation, rather than position.

From: http://www.otatalk.com/ota-antennas-etc/2953-ant800r-vs-ant800f.html it appears that the R at least has a mounting that allows you to rotate the antenna. I am guessing that the F is for fixed and they both have the basic ANT800. Most likely the one here on Amazon, based on the reviews is the F.

Yes. Just follow the instuctions regarding which remote goes on which side so you don't un-program your working remote control.

It has an infrared transmitter in it and an app that can be programmed as a universal remote. I never actually used that part though.

Im my application, the units are so close that the DISH box actually sees the IR signal from the other side of the room, but to the best of my knowledge, there is no IR passed from the unit. The only way to use a DISH remote would be if you use the UHF remote supplied with their dual channel products for the second room receivers. Hope this helps.

Be sure the remote control you are trying to extend is an IR type and not a VHF/UHF type.
