Works like a charm a little expensive it was only 15.00 dollars ordering thru direct tv I didn't know

This remote is exactly the same as the remote that DirecTV gives you - with one crucial difference. It has RF capabilities, so you no longer need a line-of-sight to your DirecTV Genie in order for the remote to work. In fact, you can tuck the Genie (ours is an HR34) into a cabinet with the doors closed, and it will work. No IR blasters needed. And no additional hardware is needed to use RF, either - the Genie (and many other DTV boxes) have this capability built-in out of the box. Given that it's precisely the same form factor as the standard (previous-generation) DTV remote, there is no learning curve. (It also has backlighting - a nice bonus). Set-up is incredibly simple - the Genie box handled everything automatically. Bottom line - if you have *ever* struggled to get a remote command to work with a DirecTV box, due to line-of-sight issues, this is the answer.

This remote is definitely worth the price! Equipped with RF capabilities, it can control your TV without being pointed at the receiver. This control also has an optional illuminated key pad to make it easier to see in the dark. It is made out of high quality materials, so it won't fall apart like the older model remotes that DirecTV used to provide. I highly recommend this remote.
