Is your remote for DirecTV not working? Here are a few troubleshooting tips that should get you up and running.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are a DIRECTV customer, it can be frustrating when your remote stops working<\/strong>. Not being able to change the channel or access your favorite shows can be a major inconvenience, and it can be difficult to figure out what to do when the remote goes haywire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are several reasons for your DIRECTV remote might not be working<\/strong>, ranging from battery health to hardware failure. This guide will take you through various troubleshooting steps to help you fix the issue in minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before we start, it’s important to note that there are two main DirecTV remotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The DirecTV universal remote is a variation of the provider’s remotes that can be programmed to work with multiple devices, including your TV, audio system, and other home theater components.<\/strong> It can be convenient if you want to use a single remote to control all your entertainment devices<\/strong>. To program it, you’ll need to enter a code corresponding to the device you want to control<\/strong>. These codes are in the manual, but you can also look them up<\/strong><\/a> on the DirecTV website<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The DirecTV Genie remote is a type of remote control specifically designed to work with a DirecTV Genie receiver<\/strong>. The Genie remote is a more advanced version of the standard DirecTV remote, and it includes additional features and functionality, such as the ability to control multiple TVs and access advanced menu options<\/strong>. The genie remote can control all genie devices in RF mode<\/strong>, even without a line of sight. However, it still works with other DirecTV receivers in IR mode<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your DirecTV remote is not working, there are a few possible reasons why this might be happening and a few troubleshooting steps you can try to fix the issue. Here are some things to try if your DirecTV remote isn’t working.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are using an IR DirecTV remote, you need to ensure the remote is within range of the receiver box and that there aren’t any objects blocking the signal between the two. If the receiver box is in a different room or behind a wall, you may need to use a DIRECTV IR Extender to ensure the remote can communicate with the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your battery health may as well be the reason behind the remote for DirecTV not working issue. Fortunately, the DirecTV Universal Remote has an inbuilt battery level indicator<\/strong>. To check if your batteries need to be replaced, press and hold the 1 button and check for a green light. If it stays on, your batteries are good. If it blinks, it means they are weakening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The problem may also be that the receiver is not responding appropriately to the remote due to cache issues<\/strong>. You can reset your DirecTV remote and receiver to clear any temporary issues and return it to its default settings but still retain your recorded programs and saved settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s how to Reset the Direct TV Receiver:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you cannot reset the receiver using the above steps, you can also try resetting it<\/strong> using the reset button on the front or back panel of the receiver<\/strong>. To do this, locate the reset button and press and hold it for at least 10 seconds until the receiver restarts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To reset the Direct TV Remote control:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Check if the issue has been fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reason for your remote for DirecTV not working may be a minor issue such as dust build-up on the buttons or something else blocking the signal light bulb. In such a case, use a soft linen-based cloth to wipe the front panel of the receiver as well as the buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another cause for the remote for DirecTV not working issue is a button stuck in the pressed position. Such a button usually sends a signal, and it can make others unable to send their signal or the receiver unable to respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another solution to remote for DirecTV not working is using the DirecTV app if you have a receiver model HR20 and above. The DirecTV app is available for iOS and Android devices and can be downloaded for free from the App Store or Google Play Store<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you’ve installed it on your device, you’ll need to link it to your DirecTV account. To do this, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you’ve signed in to the app, you can use it to control your DirecTV system and access all of the same features as you would with a physical remote control. You can change the channel, adjust the volume, browse the on-screen guide, and more, all from the app on your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s how to access the remote control functionalities:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The DirecTV app also has some additional features that you won’t find on a physical remote, such as the ability to stream live and recorded TV shows and movies on your phone or tablet. You can also use the app to set up and manage your DVR recordings and schedule future recordings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To program DirecTV remote TV control, you’ll need to enter a code corresponding to the device you want to control. Here’s how to program DirecTV remote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re having trouble programming your DirecTV remote, you can also try using the automatic code search feature. To do this, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the device doesn’t turn off after going through all the codes, it means that the remote is not able to control that device. In that case, you’ll need to use a different remote or try a different method of controlling the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If none of the above troubleshooting steps fix the issue and your remote is still not working, it may be time to consider replacing it. You can purchase a new DirecTV remote from the DirecTV website or from a retailer that sells DirecTV products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The DirecTV remote not working issue can be caused by several issues, from minor ones to others that require you to replace the remote. The guide above should help you sort out any DirecTV remote issues you are having.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKnow the DirecTV Remote Model<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
