[QUOTE="NeBlackCat, post: 274368, member: 76945"] I have no experience of any Logitech remotes, but it seems to me that your question is about the receiver that you choose, not the remote. The Logitech remotes that I know of are just IR remotes, they don't come with or imply a specific PC IR receiver. Any IR remote needs an IR receiver on the PC, which are usually USB gizmos. Any USB device (subject to a modern motherboard/ BIOS) can wake the host up to S3, ie. from a "suspended but still alive" state. But past that, eg S4 (hibernation) you start to need better hardware support, like interfacing the remote (IR) via a PCI/PCIe card (such as the remotes which come with video/tuner cards and which interface directly with them) which can implement WoL (Wake-On-Lan) type of functionality.
