In order to program a Directv remote you slide the switch at the top to tv, hold down the mute and select button at the same time until the indicator light at the top of the remote flashes twice. Then you enter a 5 digit code. If you go to the directv website http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/global/contentPageIF.jsp?assetId=P4380036#h:620.315 and put in the brand and model of your tv, it should show you what code to use.
