Remote Control Options

I need a remote control that is compatible with a DirecTV is internet based thru DIRECTV STREAM box that is user friendly for and elderly person with Parkinson's. The remote that they were given is way to small and DirecTV rep said there were no other options. Please HELP! What other remotes will work with this configuration that are large and easy to use?

There are no other options. The DirecTV remote was designed specifically for use with the proprietary box and offers advanced features not available with other remotes.

I searched all over for a "large key", simple remote for my dad to use. Never could find one.  If you do, let us know.

We hear you, @itpr13815. DIRECTV STREAM boxes come with a specially designed remote for optimal performance. Although we don't have a list of compatible third-party remotes, we're constantly investing in our equipment to provide a user-friendly service and improve the viewing experience.
