Excellent remote for Direct TV. No more remote-wars between my wife and I. :)
I recently changed my Direct TV receiver which uses a new RC73 remote controller. I decided to end the remote controller war between my wife and I. since I hate listening to the loud commercials on TV between the shows, and she has the super-power of ignoring them entirely. Well, for almost $5 each, I picked up two of these remotes and no longer I have to keep asking for the remote to mute it during the commercial.
BTW: This remote works great with our Vizio TV set that is about 10+ years old (when the Vizio was newly introduced into US market). The setup was very quick and automated through Direct TV, so it only took 30 seconds to set it up. All was needed to direct it to the TV set and Direct TV recognized it as a new remote and changed the screen to new remote programing instructions and within less that 30 seconds, the remote recognized the Vizio TV and configured it accordingly. Note: This remote is only useful to control the Vizio TV volume (which is enough for me), but most other Vizio specific buttons are missing from this remote, which is expected, since there is no way one can design any practical size remote with all audio/video specific buttons in the world. Perhaps the remote will be larger than a dining room table. If I have designed this remote, I would have placed a row of audio/video equipment selection buttons at the bottom/top row, so one can select the TV, amplifier or DVD, VCR, etc. and the remote would managed to map some of their functions over the existing buttons, like most advance remote controllers allow you to do so. Well, can't expect a $5 remote to have a $100 remote controller capabilities, either.
