Something that WORKS!

This is the first time we have purchased electronics that were intended to interface with other electronics that ONLY WORKS OUT OF THE BOX. This is the first time we've purchased a replacement electronic device that WORKS LIKE THE OLD THING - NO SECRETS! While I was studying the instructions on how to pair the remote with my new smart TV (which is still a mystery), my husband was already using it. LIKE THE OLD ONE!And there are two of them, so the extra one is already done and waiting to…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Terrible dog food on accessories and consumables

Obviously the original Direct TV remotes are delicious since my Great Dane decided to eat one. I would also like to alert all parents that there are two rosy, pesky kids named "Not Me" and "I Don't Know" who have been found all over the United States responsible for lost remote controls and other accidental mishaps. , and missing items around the house. Apparently these two children move around the house unnoticed? The same two kids lost their remote control and completely wrecked a Tonka truck

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Incredible price

Very affordable, identical to the original

This remote control is exactly the same as the original RC73 remote control that you received when you subscribed to Direct TV. I had a hard time deciding on a star rating because although you get the exact same remote, the remote you are replacing is awful and starts to rattle and show signs of imminent death almost as soon as it comes out. out of the box and there's no reason to think this one will be any better. However as this is a replacement and therefore I assume you know what you are…

What offer! the best AV accessory

I had a remote control for my DirecTV Genie. For the price of 2 of these I now have an extra one! I had some programming issues, but it was just impatience and wanting everything to happen immediately. Just be patient and the program will work perfectly. The only thing they don't tell you is the actual process of programming which I found online and used successfully. Let me help you with this: 1. Point the remote control at the Genie box2. Simultaneously press and hold the Mute and Enter…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • It's ok

Excellent remote controls. - Accessories and consumables

I bought these to work with my TV. I actually ordered the wrong set. I wanted an older version of Direct TV. I put them in my shopping cart when I was looking for an original remote for our TV (they always show you deals) but I saw that the original remote was expensive and a lot cheaper, not to mention you get 2. Later I did a search for a direct tv remote control looking for an older version. I found one and added it to my list. I went to Bing to learn more about remotes and decided to use…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

TWO of these DirecTV RC73 IR/RF remotes have recently failed.

TWO of these remotes have recently failed. One of the two had only been in use for a few months when it started having numerous problems. What did they do… For a long time we thought it was a box because DirecTV launched it right after adding the intro video, but it was the remotes. Both are now in the trash and the new ones work fine. That's all with new batteries…1. After pressing Fast Forward, it was impossible to stop them. They didn't go to play. They don't rewind. They just kept the…

Pros
  • Audio & Video Accessories
Cons
  • Disappearance

Perfection for even a Ludditer like me

My folks are in their 80's and after many, many falls from chairs and sofas onto tile floors, two of their DirecTV remotes are almost burned. Not wanting them to have to deal with ordering new remotes themselves, I ordered them for them last week and went to their house tonight to install them. I was a bit hesitant, not at all tech savvy and knowing my parents had old "dumb" TVs, but the setup was an absolute peach. The DirecTV box in their living room automatically recognized the new remote as
