DIRECTV Genie Remote Control How To

If you’ve never used a Genie remote control before, don’t worry. As DIRECTV remote controls go, everything is pretty straightforward. There are a few things you can do to get the most of this product. We’ve listed these unique DIRECTV remote functions to help you learn how to use your DIRECTV remote:

  • The remote comes with a battery strength indicator. If you see the remote light flashing slowly, it’s time to replace the batteries.
  • There’s an easy fix for many of the most common remote problems. The biggest cause of your remote not functioning properly is the top slider not being on the DTV symbol or the device your trying to control.  If you’re having trouble, check this first.
  • Pressing the down arrow twice lets you buffer two programs at the same time.
  • For a fast RF setup, press mute and enter when you stand in front of your receiver. This makes your remote able to shoot through walls, cabinets, etc.

Your New DIRECTV Genie Remote

Do you need a replacement remote for your DIRECTV installation? If you’re not sure, search inside the cushions of your couch or favorite chair. Even if you find that remote you lost a while back, it never hurts to have more. With the Genie remote, you’ll get the most comfortable DIRECTV remote you’ve ever held in your hand. The most-used buttons are big, and centrally located.  The volume and channel rockers move easily with a push of the thumb. Best of all, both of these remotes will work with every legacy and future DIRECTV receiver and DVR. Just use IR mode and you’re good to go.
