Product Description

Original Replacement remote for a DirecTV Series 2 Tivo DVR. These remotes are original equipment and are the same one that is included with the DirecTV HR10 - 250. These remotes were originally sold to a contract manufacturer that was manufacturing Tivo units for DirectTV. These remotes will work as a usable replacement for any Tivo that uses the peanut style remote (Not Made by Sony). It will work all the basic functions of the Tivo units. Please review the list of features to see what differences there are between this remote and your original remote.

4.0 out of 5 stars A familiar remote for the TiVo, and a bargain, January 6, 2010

It looks, feels, and works just like the standard black TiVo remote, with the following minor differences:

1) The TV Power and TV Input buttons are moved to new buttons just above the number pad.
2) Where the standard remote has "TV Power", this one has a "Ratio" button (which performs the exact same function as "Aspect" or "Window" on other TiVo remotes).
3) Where the standard remote has "TV Input", this one has an "Exit" button.
4) Where the standard remote has "Aspect", this one has a "List" button, which takes you directly to the Now Playing List
5) The TiVo button is a slightly different shape and is the DirecTV logo, not the TiVo logo.
6) With no apparent functional difference, the DVR 1/2 switch is labeled Sat/TV.
7) There's a DirecTV logo just below the number pad.

Oh, and at the time of this review, you can buy two with Amazon fulfillment for less than the price of a single standard TiVo remote.

4.0 out of 5 stars The exact same as the original... minus instructions!, June 28, 2010

The title says it all!The remote is the same unit that came with my RCA TIVO satellite receiver/recorder. The only problem I encountered was that I no longer had any idea how to program it for use with our SONY TV set. The remote was shipped bare.

It would have been really useful to have had either paper-based instructions included or at least information on where to obtain the necessary programming information. An internet search revealed no such information either! I finally had to resort to contacting my satellite carrier, DirTV.

This was a much less expensive alternative to a tivo brand remote. Took it out of the package and it worked instantly, no set up was required. It didn't come with directions or any paperwork, but we didn't need it.
