    I purchased this item because I have been through multiple remotes that would easily break or I would constantly have to reset. I have not had any issues with this remote. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the input button does not work on mine and I have not been able to figure out why. Other than that issue, everything else works fine.

    I bought this remote to replace one that quit working. Had it for a month now and it works just like my old one, Controls everything I used the old for just great. Didn't need one of the ones that control a dozen different things.

    It does the job of replacing and old DIRECTV remote that stopped working. They kinda have you over a barrel on this one if a remote stops working you have to buy one, i liked when directv offered these in their protection plan. Anything to squeeze a few more dollars out of us consumers I guess!

    The remote looked identical to the one destroyed by our puppy, but beware. They have tiny numbers at the top so they are not identical. We had to get another remote from Direct TV.

    This remote is very nice! It’s got dedicated buttons for each function a customer might need in order to operate his/her satellite and TV. The new ones aren’t as nice as this one.

    Bought it to replace the remote issued by DirecTV. It was a pain to start with and only got worse with the wear and tear of a teenage boy. The new remote responds the way you would expect a remote to respond - with the first press of a button (instead of 6).
