•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.
