“Will it control my pc hooked to a tv from another room? If I were to connect my PC to my HDTV by HDMI cable (they are 2 rooms away from each other), would this remote let me control the pc from that distance? There are several walls and no direct line of sight between the tv & pc. I would need to run about 40 ft of HDMI cable between those rooms. I simply want to view videos that are on my pc, but on my tv in the other room. I just have no way of controlling the pc from that room.”

not in the method you suggested. this remote controls devices that have an RF signal receiver on them. simply connecting a HDMI cord to your TV wouldn't guarantee playback.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. This remote requires line of site as it is infrared. I would recommend if you have a smart TV to look into running a server with your videos on it where it can stream wireless to your TV.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would say NO to this question. The 650 remote is an IR connected type of device and therefore must be able to see the device to communicate with it. If you want to connect to devices in (such as a PC) from another room, then I would look into some of type IP (internet protocol) controlled device.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't think this one will do that. I have mine set up and can bring the laptop into the room and it does exactly what you're talking about. It seems as if there is an RF device that doesn't need line of sight.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This product is for television use. It does not work with a computer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. The remote works by way of IR and that is only possible with line of sight.
