We often watch TV in a relatively dark room and frequently struggle to find the right keys on the controller.

works perfectly, love the illumination for the dark bedroom tv

Happy TV Channel Surfing!!!!

Direct Tv should be sued for sending out the RC71's with their systems knowing they barely work

The one for our smart tv however did not

Only the tv functions works and not the receiver

this is great-Direct TV should be giving these with the Genie-but I guess they are not that smart- Spectrum remotes are backlit

We use this remote with the HR44 DVR and a Sharp TV.

All we use this remote for is our TV and the satellite box, so it works well for that kind of application.

It does not control any of the smart tv functions, like Netflix or Amazon

These backlit direct tv remotes work well and should be what you receive when your system is installed.
