It looks, feels, and works just like the standard black TiVo remote, with the following minor differences:
1) The TV Power and TV Input buttons are moved to new buttons just above the number pad.
2) Where the standard remote has “TV Power”, this one has a “Ratio” button (which performs the exact same function as “Aspect” or “Window” on other TiVo remotes).
3) Where the standard remote has “TV Input”, this one has an “Exit” button.
4) Where the standard remote has “Aspect”, this one has a “List” button, which takes you directly to the Now Playing List
5) The TiVo button is a slightly different shape and is the DirecTV logo, not the TiVo logo.
6) With no apparent functional difference, the DVR 1/2 switch is labeled Sat/TV.
7) There’s a DirecTV logo just below the number pad.
Oh, and at the time of this review, you can buy two with Amazon fulfillment for less than the price of a single standard TiVo remote.

The title says it all!The remote is the same unit that came with my RCA TIVO satellite receiver/recorder. The only problem I encountered was that I no longer had any idea how to program it for use with our SONY TV set. The remote was shipped bare.
It would have been really useful to have had either paper-based instructions included or at least information on where to obtain the necessary programming information. An internet search revealed no such information either! I finally had to resort to contacting my satellite carrier, DirTV.

I would definately use this seller again. My remote came quicker than I thought.The product works just like the original. All you need to do is go into your Tivo menu and reprogram remote.

I ordered this thinking it was like the picture, but the picture shows a Tivo button which is our old model. But the one they sent me has a direct TV button at the top. I should have read the description more carefully but it is still not cool to have a different product shown than what they ship out. Thus the one star review. They need to fix that.
