Customer Ratings & Reviews

works great! so easy to use! love the bigger remote compared to the smaller one.

Glad to find a unit that works like the original. I would recommend it to anyone needing to replace their DiretTV unit.

I purchased a Viore TV and it was a floor model and it didnt come with a remote. I currently have Directv and I had the RC32 remote. Called Viore and the remote was backordered and cost 65 dollars! Yikes, not about to pay that for a remote. So I looked up this new remote on Directv website, typed in my TV brand and it said this one well do the trick! And......well Im writing this review because its works! TV off and on, volume and menu!

This universal remote is the first to actually work for us.

It works well with all my stuff ,I go to other rooms in the house and use it on all the direct tv dvrs

This remote works as advertised as a "DIRECTV Universal Remote…" It isn't too hard to set up and generally works well.

I returned it because I didn't need it, but when I do I will buy it again.

Not a terrible remote, it does what it's supposed to do. BUT the switch on the top that swaps the devices you are switching between is FLIMSY!!! I've had DirecTV for 2 years, and have broken 3 of these things all the same way. The switch on the top breaks, ALWAYS taking the remote out of DTV mode and rendering it useless. I don't even use this switch! It's not that it wears out, it breaks on the first time you move it. I can't imagine how fast it will break if you actually use the switch on a regular basis to control another device(s). If you have kids, do yourself a favor and put some tape over the switch so it doesn't move. As I said, my kids have broken 3 remotes in 2 years just moving the switch.

I would encourage you to purchase another type of universal remote. This one will stop working for you within a year or sooner. It is very easy to set up, but not sure why they just stop working. I enjoy having all the buttons that allow you to control the DVR options, so you might not be able to use another remote. Just make sure you keep receipts and packaging to be able to return the product to exchange.

The remote is not ergonomically designed, with the buttons being unlit, very stiff and difficult to use for anyone with a joint disorder such as arthritis. Unless you hold the remote number keys down just the right amount of time, either the number will not register or it will be repeated (e.g., pressing channel 2 may result in channel 22). However, and unlike all other remotes I've used, holding the up and down arrow key buttons does not result in cycling through a menu; instead you must press the up or down buttons repeatedly to arrive at your selection. Unlike other remotes, this one is not at all forgiving if you do not point it directly at the receiver and TV. It is white and dirties easily. Finally, changing channels is not instantaneous, in fact, not even close, taking 4-11 seconds, although this is probably a function of the receiver.

No change from my previous one. When a change my dvr to hddvr the remote control is the same that Iwas usingin the past the 2years.

Well, I am pretty technologically savvy but this device wouldn't hook up to two different devices in my house. One was a sony tv and the other was a panasonic dvd player. Both are only a couple years old. I tried the auto and manual programming methods. I guess I should contact the manufacturer or something but, oh well. Otherwise the size, weight, and buttons are pretty nice for this remote considering the pricing.

Love these remotes for DirecTV. I have had to replace them about 3 times in the last 15 years.

a remote already but wanted a backup just in case mine broke.

Great and get reward zone points for buying at Best Buy.

My remote broke w/ in 6 months of having it. No I don't play football with it, however I like to watch football with it as I have sunday ticket. Now I'll be rushing to BB before the games start to get a new one. Also, I always noticed a lag when looking through my guide, now that my remote is broken I'm using the buttons on the receiver and no more lag - so I have to assume the lag was between the controller and the receiver. Seems like these are just poorly built.

Having Directv and a Sony television you would think this universal remote would be able to work the TV functions as is advertised. Wrong ! None of the provided codes would work nor would the hours of scanning codes also did not work. repeatly followed the instructions ,Had to return for a refund.

For all the money you pay for Directv you would think a good remote would be included. It won't turn my flat panel on (view sonic) and it won't control my receiver. Don't buy it if you have a home theater or in my case even a simple set up.
