    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.

    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.

    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

    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!
