Does anybody know if the remote runs a Direct TV Genie? I really don't like the idea of having to use 2 remotes. Thanks!

It should run almost any other product. I would google the remotes instruction manual to find out for sure.

Yes, it replaces your Direct TV remote. Hence there's no need for a second remote. Also, the remote's universal and is able to control almost all TV and Direct TV functions. Make sure you use optical cable connection to your TV for best performance. Installation is relatively easy.

If I understand direct TV correctly what your TV sees is a cable box with channels just like if the signal came off a cable instead of a satellite. It should work fine. We have used 2 of these remotes on 3 different flat screen TVs. There are 2 things you need to know:1) The controller is simple just like it is supposed to be so it will not do extra functions.2) Programing always has worked for us but never on the 1st try. When it says "immediately" it means "instantly". It's like it takes about 4 or 5 tries to get the rhythm of the sequence and just how immediately immediately is. Don't expect an elderly person to be able to do it. Better get a 10 year old.

I do not know. We have a Genie, and it works together just fine. You have to set the code to match the unit you already have, but that is easy.

There was no remote for the Genie at the place that I moved into. This programed in seconds and I have been very pleased with it. The range is not as far as the original I would think, but works very well

I am not sure. I have only used Genie...and never had any issues. I would contact someone from Genie. Good luck!

Hello, try code: "01377" under CBL-SAT brand "DirecTV". The list button brings up the DVR menu. However, and this is the part you may not have known, but RF control on the GENIE must be turned off in the satellite box for IR codes to work. To change this setting, follow these instructions: 1.On the satellite box remote, press the Menu button 2.Select "Settings" from the Settings & Help screen 3.Select "Remote Control" from the left menu 4.Select "IR/RF Setup" 5.Use the arrow keys to select IR or RF, depending on which Receiver you wish to pair the remote with, then arrow to select Continue 6.Select "Continue" and follow the onscreen instructions to reprogram the remote

I don't have direct TV but I would assume that they would have to program the remote for you. I have AT&T; U-verse and haven't had any problems

i got this off the internet/ I searched for hours on how to correctly program this remote to work with my TV and after messing around with it in frustration I found the correct way to program it to your TV. First, have your Genie Mini receiver connected and powered on. Next, grab your RC71 remote and simultaneously hold the "MUTE" + "ENTER" buttons until you see a box appear on your TV screen that says "Applying IR/RF Setup. Please Wait" (this appears after about 5 seconds of holding those buttons). Once complete another dialog box will appear and read, "Your remote is now setup for RF." Click "SELECT" to exit that screen. Next, click the "MENU" button, scroll down to "Settings & Help", then click on "Settings", scroll down to and click on "Remote Control", then click "Program Remote". Next you will have two options, either "Program TV" or "Program Audio Device". Click "Program TV", this takes you to a screen where you need to select what BRAND your TV is. After you have selected your TV brand you will have to select the TV Model ( I recommend looking at the sticker on the back of your TV for the accurate Model number or using your current TV remote to find the model number from the menu screen on your TV for fastest and best results). Once the correct model number is selected, AIM your RC71 remote at the TV and it will AUTOMATICALLY program!

I bought this for a Genie so I had no problems. I believe the Craftsman brand uses switch programming. If you have a Craftsman remote, check to see how to program. Genie uses an electronic beam to program.

I have had the unit for a few weeks no problem with volume of commercials with directv. Only problem is none of the codes work the on off function on directv remote. I been both remotes to watch tv

My best guess is that it is no longer a universal remote. It will control Tv and genie only.

I use my direct tv remote. To control mine, so I would think a universal remote would also work.

I don't know if it will replace a previous remote. Need to call an expert. But the instructions are included. However, I did have to make a call to Genie and they talked me through it and it works perfectly. Note: while there are 3 buttons on this remote, the only one we could get to work was the one on the RIGHT. We could never get the left nor middle button to perform. We only need one so we were happy.

works fine with a Genie Pro. " Universal Remote " You would think it would work with most, if not all openers!

I use this on a Genie Promax 2, I purchased another remote for my son who has used his in two locations as of today. The remote worked quite well in all cases. I would recommend it to you. I use it while riding my motorcycle. Very handy... BTW, Amazon has a good record with me on returned merchandise. If I buy a product from Amazon I have never had a problem getting it returned for credit... Hope this helps...

The remote works with both Intellicode 1 (your remote) and Intellicode 2 and can control three different doors (one button each). So, if you get a new Genie door opener, it will work with that too. I just programmed all my buttons on mine to control my one door. That way I don't have to worry about hitting the wrong one.
