Days and days of frustration with the remote paper instructions and ATT online site. Less than five minutes with your instructions and it’s working perfectly!!!! You are my hero! Please accept my profuse thanks and appreciation for posting this vid.
Oh my goodness sitting here with this remote for 3 hours. I thought about RU-vid found this video. I feel so foolish, I did what you said worked like a charm. Thank you so much!
Best video I've come across so far. My remote was so confused it wouldn't work at all until it went infrared! Ive re-programmed it numerous times because of this stupid box.
THANK YOU!!! Spent over 2 freakin hours trying to pair dumb new remote to my tv according to their instructions. Went onto the website and did every single OTHER suggestion for when "if it doesn't work this way...try this" NOTHING worked. This dude literally fixed my prob 2 minutes in. YAY!!!!
I'm so glad I viewed your video. I had no idea in how to program a directv remote. I follow this video step by step, and the remote is programmed to the new tv. Thanks so much!!
Idk if I'm just blind or what but watching you do this helped re program my damn remote control! I spent 5 days in the same channel: LIFETIME, lol. Thanks !!
Thank you! This video is the only one that worked. Have a German Shepherd puppy who destroyed the previous remote, & had to grab another (one of many) DirecTV Genie remotes laying around. Obviously, Directv’s customer service is useless, & I hate having to deal with them. Your instructions took less than a minute, & everything is operational. Again, thank you!
Thank you so much! I've been trying for 2 days to get my volume to work. You described it perfectly. Not sure why knuckleheads are giving it a thumbs down. Thanks again!
You are the man!! I added a Vizio sound bar to a Samsung TV with a DIRECTV genie. I was not able to program the Visio sound bar with the genie remote and had to use two remotes. The Samsung remote was not changing the volume even though it was a digital output. I reset the genie remote and went through the process of pairing it with the TV and then pairing it with a VIZIO Sound Bar and I’m all set. Thank you very much. Well done.
Can't leave without saying thanks, I'm HORRIBLE at this stuff & I couldn't get my Directv remote to do the volume, it would just change channels, thanks to this video I was able to fix it! Thanks so much!!
Better than the tech on the phone. I got frustrated and hung-up, explaing that I wanted to add my new soundbar. She didnt seem to know what a soundbar was. Thanks brother!
It took code #35 of 76 before my volume worked. I was about to give up but thought I may as try all of them. Once I pressed "It worked", my remote worked perfectly, so keep trying all of them! Thank you!
Thank you hood sir.... The steps to setup the remote is flawless. After I did my tv I went to two other TVs in the house. Definitely Save me time and money by switching to .... lol couldn’t help it. Now I have this Adrenaline rush to setup other people’s remotes.
Mahalo! I’ve used your video more than once, to set remotes. I appreciate the clarity and the fact that you saved me from being on the phone for 30+ minutes with DirecTv.
Great video! I looked at several videos but none of them made any sense. Thank you for showing all the steps and for explaining why each step needs to be done. Our Golden Retriever chewed up one remote but I was still able to program it. Highly recommend this tutorial. Thank you!!
Worked perfectly. Thanks, I've been fighting that remote all day trying to get my surround device to work. The key was to reset and start from scratch.
This is the third video I have watched and the only one that was helpful. Your instructions worked like a charm. Thanks so much. I will be saving this video for future use.
Thanks for making this helpful video. It took a few times. Our problem was when we pushed any button on the DirecTV remote. It would turn on the Blu-ray/stereo and we didn't want it to turn on every time. Looks like it's fixed. Thanks again! Liked & subscribed! 😃
Thank you for your video. I have a Yamaha arts-1080 soundbar and Samsung 4k tv (connected via HDMI ARC). With your videos help I got the DIRECTV remote controlling the tv and only the volume on the soundbar. Using the on/off buttons on the DIRECTV remote, I can turn both the receiver (Genie mini) and the TV on and off, however, it will not turn the soundbar on and off. Any suggestions? TIA for any helpful hints.
This was pretty simple to follow so thanx for that. But what do I do when at the 2nd step and I hold down the mute and enter, the remote performs correctly but NO word prompt shows up on the tv screen like yours did? No you tube vid out explains it. My TV is a 50" Hisense Roku
I bought a new 55 inch TCL TV and I can’t use the volume control on my direct tv remote. My remote is not like yours and I have tried to get my remote to find my new tv but it won’t. It worked fine on my 50 inch Samsung which I put in my bedroom.
