I want to program my Directv remote to run the tv functions but DTV setup doesn't include SuperSonic. Does anyone know what brand I can chose &amp; code?

I have a RCA universal that I direct key programmed some functions to, however, once I connected the HDMI from the tv ARC to the sound bar ARC the volume control automatically worked without having to change the input source on the remote. I don't know about your specific remote but looks to me if it is a universal it probably would.

Hi, I have a dtv and tried it myself. I switched the tv back to analog and turned on the DR560. The channels came in the same as my dtv or converter box I use on another tv. I would think it has to do with the Input as someone already answered. I am hooked up with the RCA jacks from the dvd to tv. You might want to try the RF Modulator if you don't have the jacks. That's one reason I purchased a new TV. Also, someone wrote about the clock being an issue after Feb. 17th. I checked the manual and it does allow you to manually set the clock, so hopefully this will not be an issue. Hope this helps. Good Luck Hi, I have a dtv and tried it myself.

You can use code for a large amount of different tv brands and models. Check there web site to make sure a code is available for your specific tv. Fir the money, this is the best remote I ever owned. And I owned a plethora of Logitech Harmony remotes costing way more.

The DirectTV remote is redundant when the MX350 is programmed to your DirectTV box. Put it away.

you get them through your directv box. Go to menu on new remote and program remote. Its pretty self explanatory after that. Follow the directions.

Not a dedicated one. What type of device are you wanting to control? I ask because when I'm watching DirecTV, the center circle button pod acts to take me up or down one channel at a time (or through time left and right), and the CH+- button cause me to page up and down. So while not dedicated, I get an effective pgup/dn button anyway. It's a learning remote, so presumably one could program any buttons to act as a page up key as well.

I guess Amazon didn't print my review. This remote did not work with anything. The Dish worked, but I could not program anything else (TV, Amp, DVD, etc). I threw the thing awayand bought a Sony Remote Commander ($25.00) and it works great.

Consult your manual for direct tv you have to remove the plasic dome and set the key switch settings to direct tv. If not preset.

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

If you have the original remote just use the LEARN feature. I had to do it for my Telus digital TV remote it uses proprietary codes.

If a receiver hasn't previously been activated on an account, and your account is in good standing it should be able to be activated on your account as long as you don't already have a genie. Directv will only allow one genie per account. Also, you need to have a swm system with no more than 3 tuners already on it. Otherwise, you will need a swm 16 switch. I suggest calling Directv before purchasing to make sure you have what you need to activate this receiver.

Unfortunately, you can't.... I even called DirecTV to find out if I could program their remote to handle this sound bar and they told me "No". Thus, I ended up buying a Universal WR7 remote which I programmed to handle my DirecTV DVR, HDTV, Blu-Ray player, and the sound bar as well. The WR7 is currently working great for me in this capacity. Hope this helps!!!

Try asking your question at http://www.dbstalk.com/forum/54-directv-installationmdu-discussion/ I think you may need to provide some more details. Good luck!

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!

Instructions for setting up these remotes can be found on the DirectTV site. Additional codes for various TV's and components may be found using a google search. I've been very pleased with this purchase and love that it can control the DirectTV from various rooms without having to be in line of sight.
