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.

    I purchased two of these remote controls for the backlight function. It works well and setup was easy. Looks like this is a 3rd party type of product that is designed to look just like a "factory" DIRECTV remote control. I could care less, as long as it works which it did so all is well.

    I couldn't find my remote. Really didn't want to call DTV and tell them that, but since I always go to Best Buy for all my electronics purchases, I figured I would see if they had them...and did they ever! Best deal of the day for me!
