Programming DirecTV remote with Insignia Fire tv
I have connected my DirecTV Genie DVR to my new Insignia Fire TV by HDMI cable. Is it possible to program my Genie remote to control my tv. Currently, I can turn the tv off/on with the Genie remote and after a few seconds, the TV automatically switches to the HDMI port the Genie is plugged into and DirecTV starts. However, I have to use my TV remote to control the volume.

The remote can control volume on most but not all TVs. Have you tried the instructions here? If re-pairing your remote with the Gemini doesn't automatically set up proper control with your TV, then try the instructions under Control sound bars and TVs, which lets you "manually" set the remote. If you can't find your TV in the list, then it may be one that isn't (currently?) handled.

What are the model numbers of the DTV Genie and the remote that starts with RC?

The Genie is model number C71KW-400 but I don’t see a model number on the remote. I have attached pictures of the front and back if that helps?

That is a Gemini remote and Gemini client and it is so new few have one to play with. I don't know how to program it.

Thank you. Sorry for my error, you’re right, it’s a Gemini, not a Genie.

You still have a Genie either an HR54 or HS17.

Just transfer it over to the stream side, no? It’s easier if we just do this rather than have OP make duplicate threads. Just my opinion, not meant to be offensive.

I posted it on the stream side as a Gemini instead of Genie but detuch254 closed it as a duplicate post. What do I do now?

I have transferred it over to the DIRECTV STREAM side for you. This post is now in the correct category.
