NFL Remote Control from DIRECTV

[ccsoftball7]

I ordered my Colts remote on Friday and received it yesterday (Monday)...VERY COOL!!! I'll have to put down the Harmony 880 on Sunday...

[DBSNewbie]

Has anyone ever had a D* remote break down, and need repair?
:confused:

Yes. Just last week, as a matter of fact. I had a RC64R just stop working so I called D*. After trying a couple of procedures to "reset" the remote, they determined that the remote was indeed broken.

They sent out a new remote, free of charge (Protection Plan), and it arrived the next day. As icing on the cake, the remote that arrived was a RC64RB, the one with the backlit buttons.

As far as the NFL remotes, if they ever do break down, the $30 fee to replace them (PP doesn't cover them) isn't so bad. To save some money, maybe I can even (as some have posted above) swap out the insides of my newly acquired RC64RB with an NFL remote.

[DBSNewbie]

Since showing 5 others the new remote I got this week - ALL have ordered one themselves....a hot item indeed. :)

I've had pretty much the opposite happen to me.

I showed my new remotes to three of (what had always been to me) the biggest Rams and Eagles fans, and who are, of course, D* subscribers, as well. The only reaction I got was, "Cool" and "How did you get those?"

I told them about the link on the D* website, but two weeks later they still haven't ordered any. I find it so hard to believe that they haven't gotten one yet, knowing full well that these are in limited quantity.

They sport their gear on game day each and every week and they don't want the remote? I don't get it. :nono2: :nono:

[JLucPicard]

I would venture to guess that there are a LOT of very level-headed football fans out there that are just fine not paying $30+ for the privilege of owning a remote control, even if it does come in their team colors and with their team logo. Nothing wrong with that.


(BTW, earlier in the thread you will see I was one of the first to order when they became available. :))

[coota]

I just received my Cowboy remote yesterday, love it. I don't think the NFL remotes are available any more though, don't see them on the website.

You're right...you snooze...you lose.....

They still have them listed "for a limited time" on the website...but I suspect they'll be halting those after this weekend....I have heard internally from my contact there that a few of the team versions are now down to 5% of their original stock...

[GarAlb]

Giants remote in the house! :D

[orrelse]

Wow...this is ridiculous. Apparently, if a team is sold out, DirecTV will not cancel the order or refund your money.

I've gotten the run-around from 5 different CSRs on this issue. No one wants to research anything or take any kind of initiative to fix a problem. According to them, they have no information on what company is sending these remotes--and they can't do anything with orders...WHATEVER.....

Anyone have the phone # for the exec offices? It seems that is the only way to get anything done in this company.

[lobo65]

Charger remote here.

Cancelling any order and getting the credit posted is done daily over the phone.

There is no reason you should/would normally get this kind of run-around.

There must be more to the story here...

Are all the remotes coming with a RF antenna? The web page says it does but as soon as I clicked to order it does not say anything about the antenna.

Yes, they come with a RF antenna.

[joshjr]

I just ordered a Denver Broncos remote for my wife. I have to admit it looks better then the Colts remote.

[hdtvfan0001]

One RF antenna is included in the box, along with a complete setup instruction booklet. The units are very solidly constructed. They also support conventional IF.

Rumor internally is that supplies are getting short on some teams...so if you really plan to get one....their availability days are numbered...glad I got my 2.

[kenn157]

I have 2 Patriot remotes but I'm not home now. Could someone post a pic of the Patriots remote so I can show a co-worker. Get a nice close up :)

Thank you!

[da4349]

I just got mine today, I ordered it on Tuesday. I was having problems setting it up, so I called customer service, she said check the website! RU KIDDING! Thank you guys for having this forum! I read threw it and saw that I need to set it back to IR. Again Thanks! and Go COWBOYS!

They do but the ones I saw were so tiny. I brought one to work to show off!:hurah:

If you use this one in RF mode can you still use the IR remotes?

[bonscott87]

All DirecTV remotes are IR. This one also has the ability to do RF but you don't have to use it. I tossed the RF antenna out since I don't do RF. :)

[Edmund]

If its a receiver other then the R15 & R16, its either IR or RF, not both at the same time. Only the R15 & R16 can be set up to accept both signals at the same time.

[TheRatPatrol]

Why isn't this available on the HR's yet? It sure would be nice if it was. I could use the Harmony in the living room and the RF in the bedroom.

[Edmund]

Because you weren't suppose to be able in the R15 & R16 either, in fact if turn on the RF through the menu on the R15/6, it will be only RF. With a receiver that has never been put onto RF mode, you trick it be just attaching RF antenna and marrying the RF remote to the receiver. I suspect it will go away in the R15/6 receivers before it shows on the HR/ H series. :(

[HouseBowlrz]

sign me up for a redskins remote if it is true. what a tremendous night last night as green and monk both went to the hall of fame

... but after Thursday night's performance at the Giants, it changes to the wrong channel because at least one of the numbers gets stuffed at the line. :rolleyes:

All seriousness aside ... I did order one and it's pretty cool. There's a switch on the side that activates what appears to me a small light so you can see the buttons in the dark.


cheers

I just wonder how many remotes will get sacked tomorrow

[joshjr]

No you can not. Thats the point right there. If you have more then one reciever then no one can change the channel on your box with the IR remote. Also if you are watching Sunday Ticket and have multiple recievers in the same location the RF remote will only change the one reciever that its set for.

[urnote96]

i am sad cause all i get is

"No remotes are available at this time."

So on Sunday, I've got my two HR20's set up on the side by side picture. One HR is on Nascar, hotpass network and a driver channel, the other HR set up with two football games. Having the football remote made it easy to grab the right one when I want to flip channels or rewind. :)

I went to order tonight and saw that these have no warranty at all. Does this mean even if you have the protection plan they would not be covered. 30.00 is not much but it would suck if it only lasted a week. My team is the Rams so it may actually get thrown thorugh the wall :-)

thanks bcrab, i am puking on them as well right now...but most of it was barfed out looking at that steelers remote.
i also like how everyone is blowing the steelers already just because they had the easiest game of the week, practically a preseason game. the browns get a super bowl contender and one of the bext teams in football, the cowboys, and the steelers get to open with a game at home against one of the worst teams, if not the worst team in football..thanks roger goodell...

It must suck to look forward going 0-2 to start out. !rolling If its brown flush it down !pusht!

[Zyeox]

The Steelers had the easiest game of the week. That game wasn't even a matchup. As for the Browns playing the Cowboys that game was a lot closer than what the score let it to be. The Browns CAN and WILL beat the Steelers this week. Steeler fans need to quit thinking that every year is their year when they always lose it.

PS. I am no Browns fan I just know that they are the better team than the Steelers. The only way they will lose Sunday is if they do what they did against the Cowboys not catch the ball.

I signed up on 9/2 for DirecTV and would like to order a Saints remote, I tried to order via website and also called in, but since I have a month wait for my install (due to Gustav I was told) I cannot order one, I am afraid when I am hooked up they will be out, if anyone would be willing to help a DBS brother out and order one, I can paypal money now (w/shipping)...Thanks

The Browns are due to beat the Steelers since they have lost to them 9 times in a row. Poor Steeler fans, their team always loses it. By "it" I assume you mean a playoff game. 3 years ago they won the Superbowl, they almost always make the playoffs. The Browns haven't been in the playoffs since? They have improved and they do have a good team and maybe this is their year, it could happen.

I'll be here too, we can take it as well as dish it out. If the Steelers do win it will break the NFL record for beating the same team 10 time in a row 4 teams are tied with 9 in a row. It's also 15 out of 16 as it stands now. The Browns had some great teams in the 50s and 60s and they used to beat us like a drum. I'm 68 years old so I remember it well.

[JLucPicard]

I imagine if you have one receiver they'd allow you to buy three remotes. As long as the remotes are available, you should be able to buy what you need/want.

Is your receiver set to RF mode? Then you have to marry the remote to the receiver, which can't be done by programming a single 5 digit code:


1. dtv
2. press and hold MUTE & SELECT for two blinks
3. enter 0 0 0 0 1

4. press and hold MUTE & SELECT for two blinks
5. enter 9 6 1
6. press CH UP
7. enter the last 6 digits of the receiver ID # (RID), found on a sticker in the access card compartment
8. press SELECT

And supposedly the OP has receiver and remote that is already married to one another, there is no reason to go into the menu and possibly mess that up, the instructions I gave are for to do on the new remote without ever having deal with menu of the receiver.

[joshjr]

This may be a dumb question, but I ordered a Packers remote. What is the antenna for? My existing remote does not have an antenna? Is it required for the NFL remote?

People who have multiple recievers can use the antenna and program the remote so it only controls a specific reciever. Otherwise any remote can change any reciever. So if you have kids they can walk by and change the channel on your reciever while you are watching something. I set it up as I do have kids. My duaghter was changing my channel when her bedroom door was open. That would not due lol. Fixed now though.

And supposedly the OP has receiver and remote that is already married to one another, there is no reason to go into the menu and possibly mess that up, the instructions I gave are for to do on the new remote without ever having deal with menu of the receiver.

Right...I was just stating a way to do it if this is for the first time setup. :) I change from my Harmony 880 to the NFL remote on Sunday's only. ;)

[Sixto]

Ordered one Thursday. Arrived today (2 days!). Looks nice!

[andunn27]

People who have multiple recievers can use the antenna and program the remote so it only controls a specific reciever. Otherwise any remote can change any reciever. So if you have kids they can walk by and change the channel on your reciever while you are watching something. I set it up as I do have kids. My duaghter was changing my channel when her bedroom door was open. That would not due lol. Fixed now though.

Cool! Thanks :)

Did someone post this already? Sorry if so...

Well this answers the question of which team is the most popular with D* subs.

Try to buy a remote now and you'll get this "The Dallas Cowboys & Pittsburgh Steelers remotes are sold out."

------------------------

Also, a question. Please help!

I ordered mine on Sept. 16 and haven't gotten it yet. My credit card was charged, and I got the order e-mail. But when I go to look at the "orders and installation" I get this "Sorry, we experiencing difficulty retrieving your orders. Please try again later or call 1-888-355-7530 for further assistance."

Any thoughts? Thanks!

[jeffreydj]

I guess I'm glad I got my two Cowboys remotes when I did! :D

[Mike Huss]

Is your receiver set to RF mode? Then you have to marry the remote to the receiver, which can't be done by programming a single 5 digit code:


1. dtv
2. press and hold MUTE & SELECT for two blinks
3. enter 0 0 0 0 1

4. press and hold MUTE & SELECT for two blinks
5. enter 9 6 1
6. press CH UP
7. enter the last 6 digits of the receiver ID # (RID), found on a sticker in the access card compartment
8. press SELECT

:o

Oh man am I embarrassed. I never thought of that and I finally tried it tonight, worked like a charm. Thanks much!

No but with EXTRA butter for the popcorn ..... :lol:

As for a the "This version comes with Championships" .... that's 3 Championships ..... to our 5 .... heck we've lost as many as ya'll have won ..... :p

For fans of the "newer" teams like the Cowboys - you are forgetting all of the championships the packers won before the Super Bowls started. The Cowboys have alot of catching up to do yet. There is a reason Green Bay is called Title Town!

The Green Bay Packers have won more championships -- 12 -- than any other team in National Football League history.

They won their first three by league standing (1929, 1930 and 1931), and nine since the NFL's playoff system was established in 1933 (1936, 1939, 1944, 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966, 1967 and 1996).

Green Bay also is the only NFL team to win three straight titles, having done it twice (1929-30-31 and 1965-66-67).

In addition, the Packers won the first two Super Bowls (over Kansas City in 1966, 35-10, and over Oakland in 1967, 33-14), as well as a more recent one (over New England in 1996, 35-21).

Since the league implemented a playoff system in 1933, the Packers have played in the NFL's deciding game 12 times (10 NFL title appearances from 1936-67, two Super Bowls after the 1970 merger). Only the Giants (18) have played for more titles.

i bought my Miami Dolphins remote just now.

to you people who do have the remotes already.. does the front smear off? is it a cheep decal? or is the color in the plastic.

Not any more. (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/titletown/index)

Mine seems to be holding up very well. I perfer it to the regular remote and not because its a NFL remote.

No cheap decals. Nice paint job.

I'll tell you the same thing I tell all my neighbor Packer fans - it was MUCH easier to win all those titles when there were only six teams in the league. ;)

they should have nfl classic team remotes:

1921 - tonowanda kardex....anyone know what their colors were ?

[vetrev]

+1 :lol:

Do you really think it was easier to win NFL championships years ago?

(1) Fewer teams, meaning all the players were good and each team knew each other inside and out
(2) Much lower salaries, meaning the players had to play to support their families and stay out of the soup lines
(3) Fewer playoff spots: no wild cards, four-team divisions or other easy ways to get into the playoffs (if there were any playoffs)
(4) No protective gear to speak of
(5) No private or chartered jets, only busses or trains: Players spent much more time on the road
(6) It was a rough life without the glamor we see today. Players played for the love of the game.

At least the Packers were in existance! Would you say the Civil War shouldn't count because it occurred before 1900? Should we throw out most of the Yankee titles because they weren't won after 1970? I think your argument is very weak and all the NFL players before the merger ought to have our respect and admiration. After all, they laid the groundwork for the league we enjoy today. Go Pack!!!!:hurah:

Yeah...and you aren't biased at all either. ;)

Seriously, fewer players means teams like the Packers were able to STACK their teams back then, unlike now when parity has all but destroyed the dynasty in the NFL. It makes for more exciting games these days but it surely doesn't make for good football.

[hdtvfan0001]

Geez...gone for a week....and the thread is migrating into an NFL playoff series. :D

In the mean time...

Curious if we have any recent NFL Remote buyers...to help others gauge if they are still available....I know some teams have sold out.

[I WANT MORE]

I purchased a Vikings one for my D* guy. It arrived today.

[hdtvfan0001]

Congrats and kudos for looking out for your guy....even if he does root for a bad team. :lol:

[chasmm]

Just picked up another Cowboys remote for my patio system...

[I WANT MORE]

Congrats and kudos for looking out for your guy....even if he does root for a bad team. :lol:

When he came to pick it up yesterday he informed me that he no longer has a job with them. Apparently his wife called him because their D* service was not working. His cell phone wasn't working either. He went home for lunch and called D* about his service not working. The D* rep looked at his account an informed him that he had had a special package because he was a D* contractor and since he was no longer a contractor they disconnected his service. He called one of his counterparts and the same thing happened to him.
The guy didn't even get a call from the company he had been working for and his boss would not answer the phone. Not sure what the name of the installation company is.
I feel bad for the guy.

[Edmund]

So they now have more Cowboys & Steelers remotes in, get them while they're available.

:eek2: What a scary and sad set of circumstances to have to deal with!

[Randino]

I wonder if you can get these remotes through the protection plan if your current remote just happens to break?? hmmm

[DBSNewbie]

Very unlikely. It says in the fine print that the NFL Remotes are sold without warranty of any kind.

[Randino]

BUT I wonder if you can get them as a replacement for a regular remote, that is under waranty...

[wilbur_the_goose]

As somebody that grew up in Tonawanda, I think the colors were blue and white.

Well, i hope Direct TV comes out with an updated Steelers remote...:p

[hdtvfan0001]

You mean one that shows the 3 nasty personal foul penalties they committed in just 1 quarter yesterday? (OOOoooo low blow)...:D

Actually, congrats to you as a fan....I actually didn't care about either team...so just joking.

But don't look for them to remake a new remote with the changed back information until probably some time 6-9 months down the road...that stuff gets designed and manufactured will in advance.

I feel your pain - I'm a displaced fan of my team too...

But I do have an NFL team remote for my team, which comes in great when a couple of demented neighbors come over twice per year to watch my team play the Bears (nothing like rubbing it in against Da Bears). :D

They do not plan to invest anymore money in Logo Remotes until all NFL remotes are sold out, and since they have only sold 2 Lions remotes (and those went to forum members here) it will be 2014 before they can entertain any new Logo Remotes....sorry for the bad news guys.....the economy is dictating once again the way a company spends money.:lol::lol:
