•Make sure you're pointing the remote control directly at the IR receiver on the front panel. Also, try to position the DIRECTV Receiver so that the remote control is usually at about the same height.

•Maybe the batteries in the remote control are weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try replacing batteries.

•If you’re entering a channel number that is less than three digits long, the receiver might wait two seconds before actually tuning to the channel.

•If you are trying to operate a device other than the DIRECTV Receiver that you have programmed the remote to control, make sure the mode switch is in the correct position. The light on the remote under the mode position you’re using lights up when you press a valid button for that component.
