Yes it is, I've yet to see the backlit one in the wild. I would assume you'd need to call back and see if you can order one and have it drop shipped
If you read the description of the backlit remote, you see it's of the older type of remote, just has the wrong photo. There is no backlit rc71.
There is a back lit 71, I've just never seen one personally but according to Directv's monthly video there is one but we don't stock them like a normal remote
I'd like a backlight RC71 for the bedroom, in fact I was surprised there wasn't one out when I upgraded to the HR44.
Simply put - I hit the PREV button way too often when trying to find the 30 second skip by feel in the dark.

Then again, for some bedrooms, they should have this one. http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.as...ng-(RC70H)&c=DIRECTV Remotes&sku=700112818752 I like the backlit keyboard idea. I know that almost everyone has their smartphone and/or tablet in their bedroom with them, but of course you cannot control the volume on the tv or other device, unless Internet connected, or third party device for volume control.
Called Directv again the guy that i talked to last night said that there is a RC71B remote. Today no such remote and looking at all blog i show no RC71B. I guess the guy i talked to last night blew smoke up my xxxx.
No they have a back lit 71 remote, I figured directv would have it showing on their website by now
It worked when I clicked on it. Just go to Solidsignal.com and pull up the DirecTV Remotess. This is the info for the remote for that link. The only thing is, that it is a Hotel remote, but you get the idea. Remotes are the worse culprit for bacteria growth. I would like the Backlit for out bedroom, now that it was brought up. But there are some that need the Germ free remote in their homes, or workplaces.

I tried the link, and it worked. May just be how Solidsignal.com does their url's. The remote is the Hotel one, that is Anti-microbial. Was not meant to be off topic, just a suggestion, since the other as being stated, is not available. Worse culprits of bactera are remotes, cellphones, keyboards & mice.
I have seen keyboards & remotes so bad, that they were actually growing fuzz on them. Due to how much gunk & bacteria was on them.
I think that really the best way if you want a way to have a lit remote, is just use your smartphone or tablet. At least then, you can design your own remote control app, if you are good with programming, if you do not find one in particular that meets your needs.

Don't know why DirecTV won't let us have it?
