this is the same exact remote that comes with the direct tv box.
i bought this remote because the receiver in my rv had an older style remote and would not work with my tv requiring me to do the volume with the tv remote.
it also controls my tv and dvd player well.
on the other hand, the rf feature of the rc64r is very useful, and it still controls my tv's volume, input and power using standard ir while controlling directv receiver with rf (and rf is married to
look at something else if you are looking to replace your direct tv remote.
in addition it allows you to access the internet for the tv programs in your area.

setting up my tv took way more effort than it needed to be.
this is the next gen of tv remote controls.
scroll the listings, get info on your show and if that's what you want to watch just hit ok and it tunes the tv to that channel.
we bought this remote control a few weeks ago to replace our tv remote, which died.
i have purchased two of these remotes at different times to use on the sony tv in my bedroom which i use maybe three hours a night.
