Directv Remotes Question
What's the difference between the RC65 and RC66??
From what I found on the web is that there is no difference except for the cost. On DTVs web site one is $15 and $25.

They are cheaper online. AFAIK DTV remotes are $15 unless you have the protection plan. If it is the RC65 that is $20 then they maybe running out so charging a premium.

Hi @jamesj1. Yes, you're right. The only difference is the price. We no longer offer RC65 remotes. The RC66RX is the only universal remote available for older boxes from DIRECTV.
Thank you for your input, @shannon02. Melchisedec, DIRECTV Community Specialist

DirecTV's normal cost for remotes are $15. However the RC6X series is legacy, for the 1st generation Genie (HR34) and older. This may be affecting cost as it is the old style replaced by the new RC7X series (Genie or "peanut" style) for the 2nd gen Genie (HR44) and up.
Online retailers are usually cheaper. I suspect because of bulk discount. I would check around for the model you want.

OK. So, I'll get the RC66.
I was using the RC73 but I find that the Record button is just below the Guide button.
Thanks to all for the information.
