by John A.

Will RC66RX work with Genie?

Answer: The 66RX Works with DVR Receiver Models R16 and R22; HD Receiver Models H21, H22, H23, H24, C31; and HD/DVR Receiver Models HR21, HR22, HR23, HR24, and HR34. From what I understand, the new RC71 remote control works with the HR44 Genie receiver. The RC71 works in RF mode also with the HR44 receiver.

Should directv remote be IR or RF?

Sometimes an RF remote will work better for you than an IR remote. DirecTV remotes come in three wireless modes. The infrared, or IR, remote is a line-of-sight device that must “see” the DirecTV receiver to function. The second is the Radio Frequency, or RF, remote that can function behind walls and around corners.

What is the difference between RC72 and RC73?

There is one, and precisely one, difference between previous DIRECTV Genie Remotes and the RC73: the RC73 will control the 2015 LG DIRECTV-Ready TVs. The RC72 remote did improve on the RC71 by adding a few new codes and fixing certain issues with lower-priced TVs but the RC73 doesn’t have any those additional changes.
