    Apparently my dogs needed the remote for a chew toy more than I needed it to contol the tv. I have about 3 or 4 best buys around me and all but 1 had 0 in stock so I am really happy at least one had some available. Its the same one I originally ad so im glad i dont need to relearn

    Excellent! Bought one for main room and bedroom, because the one's given by Directv are of course "JUNK"! They gave me 2 remotes when I started service, 1 week later their remote stopped working, I returned it and they sent me a replacement which lasted for 3 days. I decided my own equipment would be better so I purchased This remote plus another model ( same thing) from Best Buy. It is very durable easy to use and handles all features for Directv main counsel and Genie. It is worth the price paid, because if the Directv remote given goes out you are stuck for no less than 6 business days for a replacement.

    After many years my controller broke and Direct TV wanted to sell me a new one. I got the same product from Best Buy at a cheaper price. To heck with Direct TV

    Had a smaller Directv remote that came with the package when first signed up but from what I understand this is the upgraded remote it’s twice the size and made for DirectTv subscribers took out of the box and it immediately worked the receiver without programming ! BUT I did have to follow the directions to program it to turn off my tv as well when the “off” button is pressed which was super easy with the directions and on screen prompts provided the whole process took 5 min if that so if you need a replacement and don’t want to wait to have one shipped from DirectTv just buy this one it’s perfect

    I had to get two remote control replacements for my Direct tvs, and since they weren’t in stock at several Best Buys, it had to be special ordered. I picked up the replacements a few day later. Everyone at Best Buy was very helpful at each step!

    Bought this for Xmas since the remote in my house was very dirty and old. Great price, I got it priced matched from home depot down to 20ish dollars. I like that this remote works for multiple direct TV models

    This remote works great. Exactly like the one I received from DirecTV. I got this to replace the one that came with my receiver because after 5 years, some of the buttons on the old remote quit working.
