Review on 📺 Discontinued DirecTV RC64 Universal Remote Control: Find a Replacement or Alternative by Lindsay Ray

I bought this remote control to replace my father's old remote control. His old remote was an RF version, but since he didn't need an RF anyway, I just switched the receiver to infrared in the settings menu. For the price of this remote, it's a lot considering you can also control your TV and two other devices. I suspect that this unit was mistakenly labeled RF in previous listings, which is actually not the case. However, I think a lot of people don't really need RF. If your receiver isn't hidden and you don't need to control the receiver in another room, this remote control is for you. Programming the remote only takes a few minutes, and Google will help you with it. Simply write down your receiver's model number (usually on the sticker below) and use it as a reference when searching. If your current remote control is RF and your receiver is set to RF only, you will need to change it to use IR in Menu > Setup > Remote control option for this remote to work properly. I am very happy with the remote and the price was amazing.
