The receiver that comes with this remote is an RF receiver. When communicating with the computer (via the RF receiver) the remote uses RF. The remote is also a universal remote. Because of this it can be configured to talk with your TV, VCR, or other IR device (including your PVR-350's IR receiver). When communicating with IR appliances such as the TV or VCR, the remote sends IR signals. > How would i go about setting this up?
