Check the obvious stuff first, make sure all plugs are plugged in properly and that your remote has fresh batteries. Turn on tv manually, then you'll know if it was your remote. good luck

Hi, you may have downloaded the incorrect remote, I had the same issue until I downloaded the correct remote. It took a litter guess work.Joe.

I wish I could help but unfortunately I can't. I don't have direct tv I use time warner cable as my cable provider. I use one remote for my tv and the boston acoustic remote for the volume on my sound bar.

The best thing I can tell you is to do what I did: contact Samsung. They were very helpful and my remote works very well with my flat screen. No problems at all.

First off good morning. Second you just need the model of what ever device you want the remote to be ex: DVD player, tv or cable box. Then it ask you questions just answer and if its comparable it should work

Same thing happened to me. It actually took out my DirecTV signal and had to restore the link between the unit and the TV. One one peripheral device ended up working, so I sent it back to Amazon. Refund processed quickly.

We had the same problem. Our remote was junk and fell apart. Tview wanted $90 to replace the remote. I haven't been able to get a universal remote to work with it either.

It's been a couple of years since I programed my Direct TV remote to operate my 60" Sharps TV so I can only say I was able to get it to work with the numbers provided. Try calling Direct TV's help line they always spend what ever time it takes to help solve problems.

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

First off I did not buy the remote model. I have the Harmony One. I have not found anything I can't program with it. You may have to use learn IR command, but it has always worked for me. You can go to http://www.logitech.com/harmony/components and check for a device there.

Curtis Mathes code will work, not sure of the code number but just go through the CM codes listed for your remote and one of them will work. BTW-The picture on this TV is AWESOME!

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!
