| Good remote but DirecTV codes not current | |
|  | I bought this remote because I had the identical remote but 6-in-1 rather than 8-in-1 and loved it. Unfortunately, I wore out the MUTE and VOLUME buttons because of loud commercials. The other problem with the 6-in-1 was that the OK button did not function with DirecTV in scrolling menus. I had read a review that this one contained updated codes for DirecTV but either the one I received is an older version or the reviewer had an older DirecTV box. RCA has additional codes on their website but they are not accepted by the remote I have. That is the reason this remote did not get 5 stars. Other than that, this is a great remote! It is ergonomically designed to fit in your hand and is weighted correctly to always be comfortable. You can pick it up without really looking at it and tell right away whether it is facing in the right direction. I especially like the lighted buttons because I only have overhead flourescent lighting so keeping a light on at night is not an option. If I had known that the OK button would not work for DirecTV on this one either, I would have bought the 6-in-1 instead because I don't have 8 devices to control and the INFO key is easier to find in the dark on the 6-device.
