Program Your RC73 DirecTV Remote to Any TV!

In this video, I discuss how to program your directv remote control (RC73) to your TV. I go thru some of the menus to get this done. It's a very easy job that'll control power and volume on your TV. The remote is only intended for these basic functions.

    It should still work... The remote sends out a "power" signal. The TV doesn't know if its turning on or off, just that its told to cycle the power status if that makes sense..

    I know the older remote, RC66 I believe uses codes so it can be used as a stand alone. I don't remember for sure, but I don't think this one will program without using a receiver box... I could be wrong, but that's what's coming to mind.

    What about with older receivers that don't attempt to enter the codes automatically? I can't get the remote to switch to RF. I had the remote connected to the TV but had the remote replaced(same RC73 remote) and now I can't seem to get the new one connected to the TV again. Doesn't seem to want to go in RF mode.

    When I try to do the mute+enter, it blinks but doesn't do anything on the TV screen. Just strange because I had the remote connected before and didn't have these issues connecting last time. It's just the one room that's an older receiver. All my other ones go through the codes just like your video showed. Typing in the codes manually doesn't do anything but I'm not sure if it's because I can't get the remote to go in RF mode or what it is

    I'm not sure if the RC73 can be programmed manually. I think the RC66 is the manual one. Did you try this to set remote to RF mode? "Hold down the Mute and Enter buttons. When the green light blinks twice, let the buttons go. The TV will display “Applying IF/RF setup”. Might not work if you have an older receiver. Did it work before with the same receiver?

    No you're not pairing the remote to the TV.... After you pair to the receiver, you can then program the remote through the receiver to work with the TV. It's still not paired to the TV, it only will send out the appropriate codes/ signals that the TV will respond to. I hope that makes sense.
