Review on 📱 Enhanced DIRECTV RC71 Remote Control for Optimal Functionality by Shanee Cobb

You're buying this because you're already a DirecTv customer so you really don't have much choice to buy. However, it is a good product, but not a great one. It feels good in the hand and can be operated with one hand. You really must have a second one because you can't control your DVR without it. This works out of the box with the HR44 DVR so no programming is required from this point of view. However, you need to program it to control your TV and, if you have it, an audio amplifier. The TV was very easy to set up; Go to: MENU > Settings & Help > Settings > Remote Control > Software Remote Control > Change TV. Enter the brand and model number of your TV at this point. If you don't know the model number (I guess you can read the brand on the front of the TV) you can just select "I don't know the model" and try every possible code until one of them works. Programming the audio device was a bit more problematic. You follow the same process, but once you find the code that works, you MUST also select "Change Volume Lock: TV" and "Use Audio Device" to complete programming, even though the wording of that option doesn't make sense. anything.
