Works great if only I could have replaced it with the remote that I purchased prior to this one. The remote would light up when in use.

We prefer this remote over the newer model. Easy to use and lots of options the newer model doesn't have.

This is the same remote that came with both of my Directv receivers 3 years ago. Both remotes are pretty much worn out. You have to smack them in your palm a lot to get them to work. We are average tv watchers, not couch potatoes and not constant channel surfers. I bought this one because we forgot to bring it with the receiver to our summer home and intend to use it as a replacement at home when one of the originals die for good. So far so good on this one but they definitely have a short lifespan. I bought it because I knew it was compatible.

Bought this as a replacement for a worn out remote. Installed the batteries, programed it to the TV, and was using it in less than 3 minutes.

We dropped our old remote in a glass of water and of course it didn't survive. This is the exact same one, so it was easy to program and use.

I am glad that Best Buy carries these specialty DirecTV remotes. It is much more convenient than having to order one every time my dog chews one up.
