Directv RC32 Universal Remote Control Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Inferior Design and Function
Comment: The remote is not ergonomically designed, with the buttons being unlit, very stiff and difficult to use for anyone with a joint disorder such as arthritis. Unless you hold the remote number keys down just the right amount of time, either the number will not register or it will be repeated (e.g., pressing channel 2 may result in channel 22). However, and unlike all other remotes I've used, holding the up and down arrow key buttons does not result in cycling through a menu; instead you must press the up or down buttons repeatedly to arrive at your selection. Unlike other remotes, this one is not at all forgiving if you do not point it directly at the receiver and TV. It is white and dirties easily. Finally, changing channels is not instantaneous, in fact, not even close, taking 4-11 seconds, although this is probably a function of the receiver.

Summary: Save yourself the money
Comment: Save yourself the money if you are a Directv subscriber; the latest IR remote is $15 and shipped free and the RF remote is $25 and also shipped free. Just order from their site.
