I'm looking at an image of the MX-880, a model number I chose at random.
I see that you are right and I spoke too quickly. Let me correct what I said:
This remote does not have all the buttons that would allow it to emulate the DirecTV remote, though it has many of them.
The MX-880 does not have the following buttons, so it is not comparable to the remote:
8 second rewind and skip ahead 30 seconds:
Those two functions could be implemented using the - and the + buttons directly above the number keypad, but we were speaking of exactly labeled buttons.
the + above the number keypad could be programmed to this, but it's not labeled for that function
Active
List
Back
Red, Green, Yellow, Blue
The 880 does have skip buttons. It does not have active, back, or the color buttons. But neither do the new directv remotes.
