A remote that can go through walls? That’s right. It’s the next best thing to X-ray vision.

Using Your IR or RF Remote to Control Your DIRECTV Plus

HD DVR

You can skip this section if you do not have an RF Remote Antenna and RF Capable Remote (sold sepa- rately) or you setup your RF Remote Control during Guided Setup. This information is included here if you skipped that part, or if you want to change your Remote setup later.

The remote control included with your DIRECTV Plus HD DVR works using IR (infrared). IR is typical of remotes you are already familiar with from other remotes you may have — the remote must be pointed at the device for it to respond. If you have an RF Remote Antenna and RF Capable Remote, you can use them to operate the DIRECTV Plus HD DVR without having to point your remote directly at it, such as when the receiver is installed in a cabinet, or you use the remote from another room in your house. The operating range of an RF Remote is up to 200 feet, with some possible decrease due to weak batteries or obstacles such as walls in your house. Once programmed, your RF Remote will be addressed to only one receiver, so will not affect other receivers in your home.

To setup an RF Capable Remote, press the MENU key, press SELECT on Settings, then select Remote from the left menu. Press SELECT on the IR/RF Setup button. Follow the onscreen instructions to config- ure your remote.
