I bought two just to have a spare. One thing you need to know is you cant always control your tv volumn with these if you have a sound bar. One of my sound bars wont sync as in Sony cant find it in the list so I must use the volumn control for the sound bar. My visio sound bar and my other Sony TV no problemo this remote controls the volumn.
PS: I've been getting promod from DTV about a new Gemini box that allows you to control apps and tv channels. The catch, it does not replace the Genie box, its another ad on, you need one for each tv and I have four tv's and only the first one is free of charge for one year then you pay rent. Spectrum Cable has also gotten on this bandwagon to and has there own new box. Just another way to make more money off you.
The connect right up and are affordable enough if we get a year and a half out we are golden
I was a bit hesitant, not being tech-savvy at all and knowing that my folks have older 'dumb' TVs, but setup was an absolute peach. The DirecTV box in their living room automatically sensed the new remote once I put in the batteries and pressed a random button -- from there, the box took over and I was led through simple on-screen instructions. The remote was programmed and working perfectly in less than two minutes. The bedroom TV was slightly trickier, but only because I had to manually type in the TV model number (as it didn't scan automatically like the first TV did). It took a few extra minutes (mostly because I had to turn the TV around to find the model number on the back) but once I did, it was again a simple process of plugging in the numbers, and voila! Another perfectly programmed remote.
I'm so pleased that I've already ordered another remote (for their kitchen TV) AND the little rubber remote protectors so maybe these new ones will survive a fall from the couch/bed/kitchen counter without shattering. :) VERY pleased with this purchase and this seller -- the remotes arrived quickly and were securely packaged in a bubble mailer. 5 very shiny stars! :)
