    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

    Purchased this to replace the Logitech Harmony 350 remote i was using prior to this purchase.The Logitech channel up/down and numeric buttons weren't functioning.This DirecTV remote goes with my DirecTV satellite receiver and is working flawlessly so far.I was able to program this remote to operate my TV and sound bar as well.Nice to need only one remote control.

    Had to buy a new remote after my dog decided to go to town on the original. It was after the store hours for the local CenturyLink / DirectTV store. I was thrilled to see Best Buy had the remote. Easy to setup and works exactly as the original did.

    This replacement from Best Buy was so much cheaper than buying a replacement from my satellite service provider. It was easy to program my tv's channels and volume.

    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

    It was convenient to replace my dead Direct TV remote without having to call Directv and wait to have it shipped. Price was reasonable. Remote was very easy to set up with my Samsung TV.

    We needed a replacement remote for one that was the same kind. It's easy to set up, much cheaper than ordering from our cable provider, and I don't have to wait for it.

    This is a replacement for my DTV remote. It was cheaper and easier to get at Best Buy rather than having DTV send one. It was easy to program and has many nice features.
