DIRECTV Genie Remote
This remote control supposedly allows for either RF or IR usage with the DirecTV DVR. My HR44 would only allow me to set up the remote as RF to the DVR, which is fine. Once that was done, however, it was easy to pair with my Samsung TV for power and volume. I also have a Samsung sound bar, and it took some effort to figure out how to get the remote paired properly. The main issue with that pairing process is that the on-screen prompts tell you to press the POWER button after the code is programmed to verify the code works, but in fact you need to press the VOLUME buttons - this remote does not have a separate POWER button. BTW, the pairings with my TV and audio device are IR - only the DVR uses RF.
This remote does lack some of the features of the older remotes... it lacks several of the buttons - yellow, green, blue, POWER, STOP and possibly others. It also lacks the DTV/TV/AV1/AV2 switch. However, it does work fine without those things, since the HR44 is designed to work with this remote.
UPDATE: Forgot to mention that the pairing with the sound bar is incomplete - the remote will not power on/off the bar, so it's a bit annoying to have to use the bar's remote for power.
