Hi,

I just got a DirecTV R10 DVR. My current remote is a Home Theater Master SL-9000, and I'm sure it's not going to work with the new DVR. Can anyone recommend a remote that will work well and be easy to program for the R10 DVR? I also have a Phillips home theater reciever and a Toshiba DVD player, but I'm guessing any remote would work well with those.

Thanks,

Udo

That remote can learn commands from the R10 remote. Unless you don't like the button layout, it should be just fine.

Since that remote doesn't have any codes for that device, I'd have to teach it everything. That would include even the numeric buttons, etc. Plus, the remote that came with the R10 has separate buttons for up/down/left/right, play/ff/rew/pause, vol+/vol-/chan+/chan-, and the SL-9000 just doesn't have enough buttons to do that easily.

I was hoping someone could recommend a remote that had codes for that device already. I've read that remotes with TiVo codes should also work with the R10, and I was hoping that some people might have comments on how complete the support is on those remotes.

A great tivo remote is the One-For-All urc-6131. Or you can get the replacement model for the sl9000, its the urc-100, it has a tivo code preset.

whatever remote you get, look for the code for philips or hughes under PVR, SAT, or VCR, depending on the remote.

Frankly, I've just about totally given up on codes. My remotes have them, but I always learn everything anyway. Saves time in the long run when the codes aren't quite perfect and you have to learn a few buttons, anyway.

I love my MX-500. Best layout for DVRs. Price keeps moving, but $85 or so.
