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)

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.

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 :)

Responds as expected but the receiver's viewing angle is poor. You need to be directly in front of it.

I hadoriginally thought these didn't work. But the actual issue was the way the harmony buttons were set up. On my previous setup, the buttons were automatically bound, in this case the keys were bound to the AV unit: so I had to manually go in and update the buttons.

I ordered this so I could finally have only one remote controlling all of my devices. In conjunction with the USB splitter, It works very well with the One for All 8 device universal remote. I can finally control my fire tv with a ir universal remote. This is a far better solution than the Phillips universal remote/dock for the fire stick imo. The device was very clunky and the universal remote half was stuck in the 90s. The IreTV uses a fairly old code that is shared with the Xbox 360 and viola. You're in business

I bought two of these for my Nvidia Shield Pros (2017 and 2019 versions) and they work great with the Interset universal remote. There's a tiny bit of a lag, but it's not terrible. Overall, I'm happy with it.

I really wanted this product to permit my Harmony remote to control my Fire TV Stick 4K Max. Unfortunately, it does not work at all. There is virtually no tech support, simply questions and answers on the Inteset web page. Most of the questions involved the same problem as mine which only reinforced my opinion that it does not work in all cases. I programmed my Harmony as an XBOX 360 controller as suggested on the website (there are no instructions) and all it did was make the blue light go on (IR is being received) and hang. Back it goes.

I have a Universal Remote MX 900 that I love and controls all my devices. I just got a Fire TV Cube (to replace my Roku). The Cube is great except it doesn't receive IR signals. My wife was not happy that she would have to use another remote and I was about to return the Cube. Finding the IReTV saved the day (and the Cube). I used the XBOX 360 IR codes to control the Cube with my MX900 (I think this will work with Logitech also). I had to switch from ethernet to wifi to make the IReTV work. Inteset said they are trying to find a way to use ethernet. In the meantime all the Fire TV Cube Remote commands work great (except of course the microphone button) and I am so happy I found this product.

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.
