Product Description
This DIRECTV Universal Remote Control will control four components, including a DIRECTV Receiver, TV, and two stereo or video components (for example, a DVD, stereo, or second TV). Moreover, its sophisticated technology allows you to consolidate the clutter of your original remote controls into one easy-to-use unit that's packed with features such as: Four-position mode slide switch for easy component selection, code library for popular video and stereo components, code search to help program control of older or dis- continued components, and memory protection to ensure you will not have to re-program the remote when the batteries are replaced.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Pros: It works. It changes the channel. It controls the TV. It does everything the previous remote did. I cannot comment on the speed of said actions, but it appears to be right on par with the previous remote. Setup was simple, I looked up the codes online and the remote was setup in a matter of minutes.
Cons: I had to buy this remote because the previous ended in the washer as noted above. Neither my wife nor my 3 month old nor my bulldog nor my cat will admit as to how it ended up in the washer.
I ordered this product on Dec 2nd, arrived Dec 8th US Postal service.
The remote is identical to my orignal remote. I put two AA baterries in, pressed PWR button and my DTV DVR powered off and back on.
I slid the function switch to TV and pressed the channel up button, and the DTV receiver dispalyed a message to telling me to program the TV functions on the remote. First, using the Channel button, scroll down to find your brand of TV and press the Select button. I have a Visio XVT TV, which had 5 possible codes displayed on the screen, and of course it was the last code listed.
To program the remote, simply hold the mute and select buttons down for about two seconds until the green LED light above the TV label flashes twice, then enter the 5 digit code. Try the volume key, if the code is correct, your volume will change and you are done.
I also discovered that I could program the the TV Input button to scroll through the various available input options on the Visio TV. Since the original remote was never programmed to do this, I did not know it could. This is great as I no longer have to get up and manully select the TV input from the TV control panel when i want to switch between broadcast TV or other inputs.
To do this, after you get the correct TV code programmed, press and hold the mute and select keys down for two seconds gain, and once the LED flashes twice, enter the code "960". Thats it. The TV input button should now let you scroll through your TV's different input options...TV, AV1, AV2, HDMI1, HDMI2, etc.
Note: As other have stated, this is an IR (Infrared) version, not the RF (Radio Frequency) version. Some AV equipment may require an RF version in order to be programmed and/or fully functional. I do not have this problem and the IR works the same as my original DTV remote.
I would highly recommend this product as a replacement or additional DTV IR remote. Even with the shipping / handling cost of $7.95 sure beats the price at your local store, where they typically cost around $25 each. Again, I got two for a total of $9.79 delivered to my door!
You can not beat the price!
