A familiar remote for the TiVo, and a bargain,
January 6, 2010 This review is from: Authentic DirecTV Tivo Series 2 Replacement Remote (Electronics)
It looks, feels, and works just like the standard black TiVo remote, with the following minor differences:
1) The TV Power and TV Input buttons are moved to new buttons just above the number pad.
2) Where the standard remote has "TV Power", this one has a "Ratio" button (which performs the exact same function as "Aspect" or "Window" on other TiVo remotes).
3) Where the standard remote has "TV Input", this one has an "Exit" button.
4) Where the standard remote has "Aspect", this one has a "List" button, which takes you directly to the Now Playing List
5) The TiVo button is a slightly different shape and is the DirecTV logo, not the TiVo logo.
6) With no apparent functional difference, the DVR 1/2 switch is labeled Sat/TV.
7) There's a DirecTV logo just below the number pad.
Oh, and at the time of this review, you can buy two with Amazon fulfillment for less than the price of a single standard TiVo remote.

The exact same as the original... minus instructions!,
June 28, 2010 This review is from: Authentic DirecTV Tivo Series 2 Replacement Remote (Electronics)
The title says it all!The remote is the same unit that came with my RCA TIVO satellite receiver/recorder. The only problem I encountered was that I no longer had any idea how to program it for use with our SONY TV set. The remote was shipped bare.
It would have been really useful to have had either paper-based instructions included or at least information on where to obtain the necessary programming information. An internet search revealed no such information either! I finally had to resort to contacting my satellite carrier, DirTV.

It's a DIRECTV remote, not a TIVO remote,
June 17, 2011 This review is from: Authentic DirecTV Tivo Series 2 Replacement Remote (Electronics)
Well, OK, yes it is a Tivo remote, but one specifically designed to work with early combo DirecTV/Tivo boxes. Hence the DirecTV logos all over it, and the slightly different arrangement of buttons. It is identical to the OEM remotes sent out with those machines. Presumably it works fine with stand-alone Tivo boxes and combo boxes made by other manufacturers.
As regards those who note that it comes with no instructions, the instructions are available through the on-screen DirecTV or Tivo menus (in DirecTV: DirecTV button, Messages & Setup, Settings, Remote Control). They can also be found in the manuals for the appropriate DirecTV boxes(the R10, for example) which can be found on DirecTV's website. The programming codes are on-screen only, however.
