This remote works great, the options are easy to use and figure out, the buttons can be a little touchy and hit mutable times to get you to the wrong channel. Over all it is a good value.

Just your regular DTV remote, no bells and whistles but very reliable. Works just like the original, sturdy and responsive. Easy to program and understand. Good product and price.

You can't move Direct TV remote to another TV.

This is a hard to find Direct TV remote. It works very well. Because it's a regular size it's harder to lose than the small Direct TV supplied remote.
Because each remote control works only with its assigned receiver; I would suggest that every subscriber buy a spare; it comes with programming instructions.

We lost one of the remotes for a DTV stream box. Decided to try this and was surprised that it was able to control the newest boxes. Doesnt offer voice obviously but still pretty awesome nonetheless

This is a replacement remote for an original which finally broke down after approximately five years of use. Programing the remote is fairly easy to do. Unlike other remotes, this remote also has a nice range for use; there is no need to sit a ft. away from the receiver. The only thing to be warned about is they will serve their purpose for a few good years. However, they will eventually breakdown from constant use, and then they will need to be replaced again. Other than that, the product is stupendous.

We had an old one where the buttons were worn off and didn’t work when pushing them. The new remote works great, don’t have to push hard to get it to work and looks much nicer!

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!
