Direct Remote for DIRECTV

Direct Remote controls compatible DIRECTV receivers over the same WiFi network.

Our take

Consider only after receiver-model/network checks

Favorites, program details and widgets support quick receiver navigation.

Keep in mind: It controls the receiver, not TV power/volume; not internet-anywhere/infrared control, and model/newer-receiver claims require verification.

What you can do

  • Discover authorized network receivers
  • Use eligible gestures/voice controls
  • Manage channel favorites/guide widgets

Good for

  • Owners of verified compatible DIRECTV hardware

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting TV volume/power or off-network access

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 13.0.
  • It controls the receiver, not TV power/volume; not internet-anywhere/infrared control, and model/newer-receiver claims require verification.

Privacy & permissions

Local device discovery and voice commands expose household activity; inspect mic/network permissions.
