BEWARE! This item is NOT RF Capable!
(1 out of 5) by Cliff Biggers on Nov 15, 2007 (Marietta GA)Even though this item is listed on the Amazon site as a Universal RF remote, it is NOT RF capable. I spent thirty minutes trying to program it for RF before I finally called DirecTV and discovered that the RC64 is infrared only; the RC64R (the last R stands for RF) is the RF version, and that's not what is being sold here. If you need RF to work the unit in a cabinet, as I do, this remote is worthless.

I second the previous review
(2 out of 5) by Jason Smith on Dec 3, 2007 (Texas)This remote is a nice compliment to my current remote for my Directv HDDVR RC23. It has larger buttons and is slightly bigger in general that the RC23 remote.
So the BAD thing is that the remote described on this page is not exactly what you will get. The remote I received is not RF capable and does not have a backlit keypad.

wrong remote
(1 out of 5) by David A. Shadoan on Dec 7, 2007this remote is not RF as advertised, it a plain IF and will not work if your receiver is in a cabinet. it came from Antonline.

Be careful to get what you really want
(2 out of 5) by Kevin on Dec 21, 2007 (Arkansas)I ordered this item ANTonline through Amazon. This item says it is a backlite RF reomte but what they sent was a plain RC64 that is exactly like the oem remote that comes in the box. If you really need a RC64RB which is backlite and radio operated I think you will better served to get it directly from directv for $25.00.
AMAZON was impressive taking care of this tranaction. Amazon made this right even though the shipper Antonline refused contact to deal with this issue. Nice job AMAZON!

Poorest remote I ever experienced
(1 out of 5) by Otis Cohodes on Dec 31, 2008 (North)Look at something else if you are looking to replace your direct tv remote. Have had this for 2 months and hate it. That's why I'm here looking to purchase something else and could not resist warning others.
1. Flimsy top slide control. (First impression out of the box)
2. Too acute of an aim required. Really annoying.
3. A single pressing of a button will sometimes result in multiple button steps because you did not press the button "just right". EXTREMELY ANNOYING
4. Personal negative; I dislike how it will not sit flat. Rocks too easily.
5. Positive; better than no remote at all.
Word to the wise. Keep looking.
