NEW DIRECTV Universal IR Remote Control RC65X H24 H25 HR24 2AA BATTERIES FAST SHIPPING by Portable4All

Overall I am pleased. Its almost an exact replacement for the remote that came from DirectTV.I am disappointed that it does not control the TV vol no matter how many times I try to set it up. I thought I read somewhere that if it had the X after the number it would do Vol on TV. Other downside is that it doesn't have the rubber backing like the original, but that was not in the offer so is not the fault of seller.If you need a replacement, and don't currently use it to control vol, this is a great alternative to the original.

Showed up quickly as advertised. Made sure that my model was listed on the product description before buying. I put the batteries in and pressed the on button. It recognized the box, asked me to point at the box. Programmed. Then asked for TV brand. Gave it that and it then found the model when I said was not sure. Works soooo much better than the remote that came with the DTV box. These buttons seem to glide to use where the old remote was just plain still all over( before some of the number buttons stopped working on the old remote). Price was better than DTV or other vendors here.

Ordered as replacement for original DirecTV remote. Works great and is easy to program. I gave a 4 star rating because oneremote came with corroded batteries, no harm no foul.

Ready to use right out of the package. No coding needed for basic use.

Ordered this remote to replace our old DirecTV remote which had trouble with the volume button from day one. This new DirecTV Universal IR remote is o.k. The "power" button to turn on the receiver does not work and when depressing the "1" button the receiver sometimes has a hard time receiving the signal. We did check to make sure the "eye' one the remote was clean and nothing obstructed the signal to the receiver; still has problems. The directions on how to set up the remote to components was easy to do, but this remote also had a hard time syncing to our Samsung TV. Maybe we just got a lemon and a replacement would have worked just fine. We did not return this item only because it was inexpensive and we paid for it with our Amazon Reward points. This DirecTV Universal IR remote is easy to use.

Actually, we have replaced several of these for varying reasons, such as dropping in the pool (don't ask), crunching one by stepping on it while moving a couch, etc....They would have been in more trouble had this one not been bought for less than half the price I was charged for replacing the original the first time. Super easy to set up by pointing it at my receiver, and as far as I can, it is identical. Would buy it again...and oh yah...have! : )

Would purchase again.

Be warned, the remote I received was _not_ an RC65X (as described and displayed in the product photo)It looks much the same, it has the same buttons, but it does not have the same features; whatever this is isn't bidirectional, meaning you can't program it from the receiver like a real RC65X remote. Instead you have to do multi-finger button pressing and punch long numbers into it one by one, just like a regular cheap-o universal remote.There is no model number printed on the front of the unit in the area that DirecTV normally display it, and looking inside the battery compartment didn't reveal an obvious answer either. The black infrared transparent window on the front of the unit is more of a dark red than a real infrared-transparent filter. I'd suspect this of being a knockoff, but it's obviously just a non-factory refurbished unit; there was still sticker residue from the original owner's little square 'room' sticker on it. The casework, top and bottom, showed the usual signs of use, and whoever owned it evidently kept it in bright light as the white case plastic was significantly yellowed from ultraviolet bromine migration (sun damage).So, the price was right, the condition is acceptable, but the description is wrong, hence 2 stars.
