Stupendous back up remote for Directv DVR

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.

This remote is more reliable and less prone to failure than many other more expensive remotes I've used. And, it works out of the box with DirecTV, no programming required. The only drawback is that it is not backlit. DirecTV does offer a backlit unit, and I have one, but I could find one at the Best Buy store when I shopped for this one. (I supposed I could have ordered it online, but was impatient.) Otherwise, it's great.

As much time as I spend at Best Buy, it was good to know that I can buy some Direct TV equipment, without waiting for it to arrive. I saw another Direct TV remote that I want to purchase in the future - where you can use it from another room! But I am happy with the one to replace my old beat-up remote. It was very easy to program - had that done within a few minutes of opening the package. Plus I was able to get rewards points for my purchase!

After several years, some buttons on our remote wore out.. Ordering from DirecTV would have taken weeks. Looked online and Best Buy had it in stock. It is the exact same remote (not a substitute) that DirecTV provided with our initial service. That is great since my wife did not have to learn how to use a different type of remote.

IR remote for Direct TV

This remote works well if you need it to connect to a receiver in another room or closet. We bought this one to replace our last one. However, shortly after DirectTV had to replace our receiver and a remote came with it that had IR capabilities.

My DIRECTV remote had seen better days.A few of the buttons no longer worked.It got to be very annoying.So I bought a new one at my local Best Buy.It was identical to the original.I am so happy now with my new fully functioning remote.
