Need a new Direct TV remote control, this one is great. It automatically communicates to your HD receiver. Then just program in your TV and your back in business.

Remote needed to replace the original that after being dropped a few times wasn't working properly. Functions just like the one that came with the system initially.

Some of the buttons on our remote from Directv no longer worked correctly. Happy to find exact replacement at a lower price than offered by Directv.

Needed to replace old one where buttons wore out. The original one lasted about A decade or so, so $35 is worth the replacement.

Original Direct TV remote wore out. Thought I would have to mail order a replacement from Direct TV. Was pleasantly surprised the remote could be found at Best Buy. Quick and easy.

This remote is an exact replacement of the remotes that are included with DirecTV receivers (before the Genie at least). Works just like new. Only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 is for the remote button layout.

I was skeptical about the purchase since the price was so much cheaper than everyone else's. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was the exact same one and works perfectly!

I bought this because my last remote died after 6 years and because every other remote in the house is of this type. I really don't want to have to teach everyone else how to use a new remote. if you are looking for something to control your DirecTV box and some type of high-end surround sound system, you'd probably be better of using a learning remote geared to your system that can be programmed for the DTV box. You simply can't get "into the weeds" of the settings on the other systems using this device. If you want to watch TV and change channels and volume and press a single button to turn the DTV box and the TV on and off, then get this.

So glad BestBuy sells these. After my DirectTV remote took a swim in the washer? This was greatly appreciated when I realized BestBuy had it!

Works perfectly with my direct tv box. Synched itself which was really nice. Easier to use for my elderly grandfather than the one that came with the direct tv box.

Our Original remote to TV was broken. This was the new replacement remote we had purchased. We paired it with our TV and so far it works great for basic TV functions.
