Not much to say really... It took 5 minutes to install in combo with Harmony remote. No more messing with flirc or irtrans. Delivery was OK, same day shipping. No complaints, will buy again.

Works great with my NUC and Kodi on Openelec. Setup can be done from Windows, Linux or with a Kodiapp. Receiver is hidden on my NUC behind the TV and receives signals great. Fast delivery as well. Recommended buy.

Works brilliantly with my Pi Openelec system. easy to setup using windows 7 but the Linux setup app on unbuntu didn't work for me. Other than that this is a great little device which works flawlessly!

Works like a charm! I use it for Kodi (XBMC) running on Windows 7 machine. Unfortinately I didn't have a free usb port in front of the computer so I had to stick it into the back. I was really sceptical how it would work since there was no direct line to the remote. Boy was I surprised how well it works! The receiver is very good. Only problems were that I had to manually install the driver and unplug it after recording the remote buttons. Also upgrading firmware didn't work inside the program but since evertyhing works, I'm not even bothered upgrading anything.

I've been using my smartphones/tablet for remote controlling my XBMC boxes for a few years now. Quite often I press the wrong key, even when looking down at the remote, which is quite irritating in the long run + the need to keep my phones charged late in the evening to be able to remote XBMC. The setup of Flirc was super-easy and now I can use any remote I like, right now I use my Panasonic TV-Remote and Denon Receiver-Remote to also control XBMC, and I no longer need to look at my remote when controlling XBMC, I'm a happy camper indeed =).

This product is amazing. Install the configuration software on your main PC (Linux, Mac & Win versions available) then configure the FLIRC dongle with any old remote control you have lying around. It takes literally only a couple of minutes, then move the FLIRC over & plug it into your Raspberry Pi Media Center & that's it, you are up'n'running. It's idiotproof, but there's also a forum if you have any questions or problems. Basically, it does exactly what it says on the tin.
