Two-pack convenience
This set delivers two DIRECTV RC66RX universal remotes in white, ready to control compatible satellite receivers straight from the box. Each unit includes batteries so both remotes work immediately without extra purchases. The pair suits households that need a spare handset in another room or a replacement for a worn original.
RF versus IR control
The RC66RX adds built-in radio-frequency capability to the infrared functions found on earlier 64, 65 and 66 series remotes, letting you change channels without pointing at the receiver. RF operation works with listed models including R16, R22, H21 through H24, HR21 through HR24, HR34 and C31; older receivers may need an external antenna connected to the remote antenna input. If a receiver lacks RF support the remote switches to IR mode.
Sustained everyday use
Radio-frequency signals pass through walls and cabinet doors, so the remote maintains reliable control during extended viewing sessions from adjacent rooms. Infrared fallback ensures the handset still operates when RF is unavailable, giving consistent behaviour across different receiver generations. The included batteries support normal daily operation without immediate replacement.

Questions about this item
Does the RC66RX require a separate antenna on receivers like the HR21 or HR24 to use RF mode?
Older models such as the HR21 or HR24 may need an external antenna connected to the remote antenna input on the back panel for RF control to function.
What is the correct way to switch the RC66RX between RF and IR modes during setup?
Slide the mode switch on the remote to RF for compatible receivers like the H24 or HR34, or to IR for older units; the step often missed is re-pairing after changing the mode.
Which batteries are included with the 2-pack, and when should they be replaced?
Two AA batteries ship with each remote; replace them when the indicator light dims or commands need multiple presses to register.
