This DIRECTV RC73B universal remote can control up to 3 devices and operates as a replacement for most DIRECTV receivers. This remote includes both infrared and RF modes and features an ergonomic design for comfortable use. The remote works with most DIRECTV receivers in IR mode and is compatible with most third party DIRECTV receivers
So, my original backlit control for DirectTV receiver/DVR was getting flakey. Tried to find the original. No luck.
This doesn't seem to really be built for this receiver/DVR. Can't change input (so must use TV remote). Can't forward 12 hours at a time-ZERO way around this. I don't see any way to operate the "blue" buttons (keep recorded show).
Occasionally, the volume control won't scroll, and you're forced to click one setting at a time.
I DO like the channel controls which allow you to page through the guide/multiple channels with a single click. That's about the only thing that's better about this control. I'm going to keep looking for original controller.
