Need to know how to set up a new directv remote

 

[raoul5788]

If it's with an HR24 or newer, they practically set themselves up. Which receiver/dvr do you have?

 

[thebills1]

HR23/700 remote is RC66RBX the remote does not work even to power on and off

I'm guessing one is set to ir and the other to rf. Go into the menu of the dvr and change whichever it is set at.

I already have one remote that works I am using the other remote for the tv upstairs which isn't working if I change the Ir to RF the one remote that is working the other one may not work.Thanks for your help

The remote that is working is set to RF

the remote that is NOT working:

move the switch to D* mode (if its not already)
open the door by the access card
get the last 6 digits of the number on the sticker above/below the access card
press mute+select on remote, light at top will flash twice after about 2s
press 9-6-1, channel up, light will flash twice again
put in the 6 digit number you got from the sticker

new remote should be programmed now


if that fails, use the working remote to go into settings > remote > advanced > ir/rf > choose rf from the drop down > program new remote from on screen instructions.

Can this info be somewhere in a D* Sticky so people can find it, we use to have a Sticky for stuff like that.

there's a lot of information we need in a sticky.
