DIRECTV RC73 Universal Remote Pair

This two-pack supplies a spare or replacement remote for each room using DIRECTV equipment. Each handset works with both infrared and radio-frequency signals so it can control the set-top box even when hidden inside a cabinet. The grey finish matches the standard receiver aesthetic.

IR and RF Dual-Mode Operation

The single specification that decides fit is the combined IR and RF capability. Infrared requires line of sight while radio frequency works through walls and furniture. Only remotes offering both modes will control a Genie HR44 server or a C41 client reliably in every installation scenario.

Households with Genie HR44 or C41 Clients

Buyers who own a Genie HR44 server or C41 client and want a second remote for another viewing position will find this pack suitable. Users whose DIRECTV hardware does not support radio-frequency control or who need a remote for a non-DIRECTV streaming device should look at something else.
