Inteset IReTV USB IR Receiver for use with Nvidia Shield (2nd Gen & 2019 Pro), F-TV, Kodi, PCs, Raspberry Pi & Other Streamers with the INT422 & Harmony Remotes (Remote not Included)

Works like a charm

It Works! I purchased this with the matching splitter. The connections took a few seconds. I fired up the TV and Boom --- my Harmony 650 remote controlled my Amazon Fire TV stick. The device on the Harmony 650 was set up as a Microsoft Xbox 360, just as recommended by the manufacturer. I had to play around with the key mappings, but no biggie. I have done that with every other device. Money Well Spent. Here's some help. A few keys aren't intuitive to map Menu: Xbox Guide Back: Live TV Rewind and FastForward are as you would expect SkipBack and SkipForward don't do anything I have no mapping for the button with the 3 lines. I never use it on the Fire remote so I don't care about the Harmony 650.

There are some hiccups, some of which I can probably work out with some button remapping. It does work, but using the Xbox 360 , or elite doesn't give me everything as on the Firestick 4K remote. Most notably is the pause , play functions in certain apps, especially Hulu live TV. That being said It does decent. I use the harmony to bounce between air and the firestick, I do not use cable. but have streaming live tv from Hulu. I do find it lags a bit in comparison to the Firestick remote, but not much. My arrangement .. older Samsung 46 inch LCD TV (c600) , Yamaha sound bar (YA 207), Firestick 4K.

I've been disappointed with Plex on Roku not being able to pass TrueHD and DTS-HD MA directly to my receiver. I already have a PC hooked up to the TV for other reasons, but wondered if I could use an IR receiver with the Plex app. After some trial and error in the Harmony app, I was able to add this receiver to my remote by inputting Microsoft for the brand and MCE for the model. After that, I selected Media Center PC and clicked through the warning box. After synching the remote, I was able to navigate the Plex app without issue. I did go back and tweak a couple buttons to make them more to my liking, but I'm happy with this solution.

WARNING: Does NOT work with all remote types, this is not a true universal receiver, I can’t say for sure which kind works. Either get a true universal receiver or get a universal remote to go with it if your remote doesn’t work.

Plug and play indeed!!! Nowhere one their website states how to setup this remote with harmony. It's a forum which. only shows how to use it with fire stick. The Flirc is way better..I am returning this to buy another flirc.. I have two Nvidia Shields and want to use separate IR receivers. This is junk

This cable works really well with latest Amazon Fire TV and my old Logitech Harmony One remote. The cable converts the Harmony commands for Xbox 360 so when you set up your Fire TV in the Harmony software, set it up as an Xbox 360 and then program the buttons according to the map on the Inteset web site (can't post external link, sorry). You'll need this cable (or similar) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CXAC1ZW/ to daisy chain the IReTV device into the USB power connections. As an aside, I was also able to chain the genuine Amazon ethernet adapter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074TC662N/ successfully with the same Fire TV. I couldn't be happier to be able to not have to buy a new universal remote. And my beautiful wife wasn't crabby about learning a whole new remote layout. Win-win!

I bought this because i wanted to control my Nvidea Shield and Roku Express 4K + with a universal IR remote that also controls my other devices, seeing this huge instruction booklet with a lot of writing about all kinds of functions scared me a little, however it's really easy to program it, for my Nvidea Shield press D hold set until it blinks - release - enter 04918 DONE! Works like a charm :)

I purchased this because the 2017 second generation Nvidia Shield that I own does not have a built-in IR receiver and I wanted to use my Harmony 650 to control it. Thankfully, this add-on USB IR receiver does about 90% of what I wanted. The Power On/Off/Toggle doesn't do anything and not all of the buttons work the way the button mapping diagram in the listing says that they should; i.e. the back/exit button is actually Red, etc.. Nonetheless, once I figured out the actual commands some buttons were sending, it was an easy thing to remap them in the Harmony software when programming the remote. So far, I deem it a success and now I can control it with my Harmony using IR instead of the Shield Bluetooth remote. One Caveat, the included remote includes a microphone and the Harmony, obviously, does not, so calling up the Goggle Assistant is not much use. That is not the fault of the IR receiver, just something to be aware of. EDIT: When setting this up initially, I followed the online instructions and set it up as an X-Box 360 in the Harmony software. As I wrote above, this gave me large part of the functionality controlling the Nvidia Shield, but there were still many instances where I had to use the original remote to get it to do what I wanted. Knowing that the Pro version of the Shield has an IR receiver built in, I decided to try the Nvidia Shield profile in the MyHarmony software instead. I wish I had tried it sooner, because now my Harmony 650 controls the Shield 100% the way I want it to, it's perfect! Long story short, if you are buying this to control an Nvidia Shield with a Harmony remote, ignore the online instructions and set it up using the proper profile instead of an X-box 360.

If you don't use voice control (I don't) then this is perfect for allowing Firestick control via infra-red. My universal remote is now programmed and works perfectly and the original firestick bluetooth remote is in the drawer.

I have purchased three of these over the years, and all work brilliantly to allow an Nvidia Shield to be controlled over IR by remotes such as the Harmony 650/665/700. The Shield lacks any sort of built-in infrared receiver so must be controlled via the included remote. However, if you plug a USB IR receiver such as this one into the back of the, you instantly allow it to be controlled with a compatible IR remote. Just add the Nvidia Shield into the Harmony software and you are good to go. It is not, however, compatiple with all other streamers, sadly. I tried this with the Bluetooth-only, but otherwise excellent ONN 4k pro and this receiver did not work at all. The GoogleTV box just did not recognise the receiver. Oh well.

Thanks fast delivery a great product

Not much to say, needed it to connect to Fire Cube with Inteset remote. It does the job, probably could be cheaper given what it is.
