This remote works with directv but is lacking a few key functions. There is no guide button but through trial and error I found that the eject button will open the guide. It also doesn’t allow you to turn two devices on/off at once, you have to do one then change modes to do the other.

This remote does control many options and works great. The illuminating light button works great, it just doesn't stay lit as long as I would like, but does help to keep from draining the batteries. I only use 2 of the programmed buttons right now, but will be adding the others as needed.

Got this remote to have one for tv, dvd, sound bar and streaming device. It worked fine for the tv but other than that it was only ok. Worked ok on the DVDs but it was basically garbage on the roku and Visio soundbar

Great remote. You can pair up to 8 devices. You could pair all to TVs if you wanted the label doesnt restrict what kind of item you can pair this to. I have yet to find a TV this doesnt pair to.

Needed a replacement controller for four devices from four different manufacturers - TV, blue-ray, sound bar, cable box - and this did the trick. Can control all needed features on all devices and easily switch between them from a single remote.
