What is the correct part # for an RF, backlit remote that works with the HR34?

[wope]

I had my HR34 installed today and love it. Unfortunately, they only gave me an IR remote. I'm looking for a backlit, RF remote that will control the HR34. I think it might be the RC65RBX, but I've been unable to find anything concrete. Can anyone confirm? Thanks.

The standard IR/RF remote with backlit buttons don't work. It's a special one but I don't remember what the model number is

The model number for the HR34 is RC-70 and isnt on Direct website yet or out for everyone

Darn, are you sure? I thought the RC-70 was for Samsung TVs that are using the RVU setup

you are correct. and yes the backlit remote will work on the 34.

This looks right to me. Standard RF remote for H24/HR24/HR34 is RC65RX. Add the B for backlight.

Yep true

I went ahead and ordered the RC65RBX. Will come back and confirm that it works later this week.

It does and it will

I have been looking all over for information on this. So are you confirming that the HR34 works in RF mode with the RC65RBX? Did you need to use the RF antenna that plugs into the ir port (like the H25 needs?)

Thanks!

DirecTV really needs to do a better job of supporting the RF remotes (lack of documentation on their website / etc). I just came over from Dish Network and ALL of their remotes are now RF by default (and I got spoiled).

I stood corrected from my post. Yes it works and no, you don't need anything special. Just program and go
