Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the ease of use and the helpful backlight feature of the DirecTv RC73B Replacement Remote. Many also appreciate its compatibility with various devices and the straightforward programming process. However, some customers find the button layout requires adjustment, and a few feel the price is high. Overall, the positive feedback on usability and helpful features outweighs the negative comments.

    Love the back lit remote. Much easier to use at night. No need to turn lights on to find the button you're looking for.

    Works better than my original as far as transmitting a signal. With the older remote I was able to completely control my flat screen as well. With this I can only turn it on and off and adjust the volume. That's not so good when I want to turn on my sleep timer.

    My wife recently "lost" the original remote. This is an excellent replacement. The original remote was found, but we like that this one is backlit, so its used primarily.

    Very happy with this remote. The infrared operation works great - no need to point directly at the device. The lighted feature is a nice touch during dark hours.

    I needed to replace my direct TV remote, I found that this one would work with newer equipment if I upgraded later. Was a great choice.
