Second remote works great... [Posted on 2007-05-06]
Works great, identical to the remote which came with my Direct HD-DVR.

DirecTV has not installed RF remote software on the non-HD receivers. So this won't work with a standard definition DVR or receiver even though there is a port on the back of the receiver for a RF remote antenna. I called for approximately 9 months and they kept telling me the software update was coming soon every time I called, but the dates for the software upgrades came and went with no RF remote capability added. We even tried to force the software update to download to make sure I had the latest software, and I did and the RF capability still wasn't activated.
The RC23 is the replacement remote for the non-HD equipment and does not have RF capability. Get yourself something like the Powermid X10 remote control extender if you want to use RF capability with a non-HD DirecTV receiver. If you complain enough to DirecTV they will credit your bill or maybe give you some free movie channels for a while to compensate you for not activating this capability. That might defray some of the cost of the remote control extender you'll have to buy.
