Can I change channels from the other room or do I need a separate infrared?

Yes, you can change channels remotely. It has a builtin infrared repeater. The remote unit will receive the IR signal, send it to the source unit, and the source unit will then transmit the IR signal. There is an IR out plug on the source unit, and the box includes an IR emitter on a 3' cable.

Throughout the room - not through the wires. It recommends having them in different rooms

If it's an infrared remote compatible item yes. If it is a radio frequency remote then you have to step up on model to get both RF and IR. Hope this helps.

i believe direct TV uses radio signals not infrared, but i could be wrong. some boxes you can turn on IR to use both as well, call Direct TV or order this, try it, and if it doesnt work, return it..

If you can purchase them separate great. No big deal. The cameras you are looking at are great in the day time. Their night IR function is not that great.

I'm not sure about changing the channel but setup was exactly like the instructions said. I had to connect my computer wired instead of wireless though. Also, I have to reset this device almost everytime I use it. You get what you pay for.

Yes. You can even be in a different room. It uses raido waves so line of sight isn't an issue.

Pretty well, but distance is limited without another separate infrared light panel.

If each piece of equipment is different, then an ir blast won't work if it's for something else. So, I would say use 1 emitter on each to keep things simple.

I purchased this unit a long time ago, I remember this unit had IR Capabilities. Yes you can if you purchase 2 of them you will need dual channel wireless headphones with switching ability.

Infrared is line of site so not without drilling a hole in between which it sounds like you could. Also the way I have it setup I have the existing infrared receiver covered so it is not working anymore. You might be able to rig it up in such a way that both would work, but I haven't tried it.

Sorry, it could not, as you only can change the channels of receiving room by the tv in the receiving room.

I don't have Dish so I can't say with 100% certainty. But I believe as long as you're not using one of the RF remotes or the RF function of the remote that IR signals are mostly all compatible.

No, there's no need. No infrared, but some kind of bluetooth or similar is used. But I cannot help you with the range, maybe in the camera specifications...

I believe the Logitech 890 is the most popular one that will do what you want. I have the Logitech 880 model, which does not transmit RF signals that are required to do the lighting, etc you mentioned. here is a quote from the 890's Amazon page and a link to it. You can also check the Logitech 1000, the latest and greatest Logitech remote. Link to Logitech 890 Universal Remote: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Harmony-Advanced-Universal-Control/dp/B000CS1TLE/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1200787712&sr=1-21 "Logitech's Harmony 890, an upgrade to the Harmony 880 remote control, uses both radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR) wireless signals to deliver powerful complete control of your home-entertainment system that may be hidden behind cabinets. With a wireless range of up to 100 feet, the Harmony 890 remote sends RF commands to a wireless receiver, which then blasts infrared signals to the components. The Harmony 890 remote makes universal control for home entertainment and advanced lighting systems simple. "

they have a blue tooth to IR converter. I've read about it but I can't find it.
