RC73 Power Button

Check the manual for the RC71. I think it covers the 73.
An RC65 or 66 will work on that receiver. It has the PWR button.

 

I had the same problem, shutting off the Genie shuts off everything when you use the new remotes. Dimwits left the PWR button off the new remotes. I bought a Sideclick remote for my ATV and programmed the PWR button off one of my old D* remotes. Here's a link to the Sideclick: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N3PL81R/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Relatively inexpensive and easy to program. They're never gonna fix the Genie remotes, this is a decent workaround. Sideclicks are also made for FTV devices. Makes for easier streaming.

I simply re-programmed my RC7x remote to operate a different brand of display.

Alternately, you could probably just cover up the IR output of the remote when pressing the power-off button (assuming RF control of the HR44).

 

Don’t bother turning off just the DIRECTV receiver. It doesn’t actually save any power doing that. Just go ahead and the tv and watch your other stuff and turn everything off when you’re done for the night completely.

 

Tried doing that...lights annoyed me. OCD and all that. But it works. I've been using the peanut regularly and...hate to admit it...kinda like it. Could be fixed, could be a lot better but it's OK. I might have to move the 44 to another room when the NFL starts up, that Black Shroud would drive me up the wall during a football game. That thing blocks out about a quarter of my 65" screen!!!

I do this. Works well for my TV with HDMI control. When I play my Switch and shut it down, I cover the IR of the remote and turn the C61 off and on. Switches input faster that way!

I agree, I've warmed to the peanut except for the placement of the record button. I keep pressing it thinking it's Guide because that's where Guide is on the old remotes.

Have you tried turning the lights off on your 44? I also put a piece of electrical tape over the Directv logo light.

I do agree with you about the black shroud though.

 

Wouldn't you think whoever designed the remote would have used the excellent "old" remotes as a template? Same thing with the software and the GUI, why did they feel they had to change everything?
