Is the remote control an RF remote or an IR remote? Need to know if it works on the otherside of the bulkhead - not line of site.

Honestly I have only used it in direct site. I will not be around my boat until spring break to see if it works.

The control box operates the rotator by hardwired connection. The control box has a full keyboard on it and is fully functional without using the remote. The remote duplicates the keyboard on the control box. The IR remote has reasonable range in a room with walls that will reflect IR.WDOC's answer is absolutely correct.

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.

No, this antennae is designed for a FM Radio receiver. It will not work for an irf remote control device

The remote uses IR to control the receiver. I would just make sure that your enclosure does not obstruct line of sight between remote and the IR-receiver (front of unit)... If you're connected through wi-fi, you could just use the android/iOs app and not worry about line of sight issues.

I have mine, and the ONLY way to control remotely is over the internet through the website. I'm not a computer genius, but the thing registers itself, etc... and you need to access it through the web. If anyone knows otherwise, let me know!

It works like an RF remote. I have been over 75' from my truck and it works great. But I did have issues with it turning on by its self and woke up to a dead battery. Not sure if its just the one I got or a flaw? But I just put it on a toggle switch which defeats the whole purpose but I have learned to live with it.

I had to change the settings in the receiver to make it work. Make sure the remote control setting is set to IR remote. If it set to RF it might not work.

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

Yes, you can use your IR cable remote. This unit has a wireless Infrared (IR) repeater. You can use your IR cable remote and it will transfer the commands to wherever the HD flow transmitter is located; which I assume is next to your cable box. You just have to attach the IR repeater LED to the proper place on the face of your cable box and you will be good to go.

It is a 6.4 IR?UHF remote the same that comes from dish.. You will have to set the channel frequency code to your receiver. instructions included

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 use this to control my satalite box, if the cable box uses a ir to remote control it should work if remote control is RF it probable will not work

It's a wired controller, not an IR or bluetooth remote. That would only be possible if you had an extension cord.

The remote that came with the UHF to ir unit. Works well in our RV through walls. To turn TV on and off and adjust volume we use the TV remote.

Make sure you read the manual on how to set it to remote. However, personally I had a horrible experience with this IR Remote. I sent it back and went with the Nikon version. Works better.

I know for me the DirectTv remote is RF and I think this is IR or Blutooth. Perhaps that is the issue?
