Replacement receivers out of DirecTV are usually SIR-TS360s, at least in my experience. They come with the DirecTV "white remote." An instruction book tells you how to assign code sets to the remotes. This book is dated 08/04 after the text on the last page.

For the Samsungs, the T160 and T360 are listed as having code set 01276. This is not so. The 160 uses 01276, but the 360 uses 01609.

If you use the code in the book, that is, the wrong code, up, down, left, right, exit, and digital number dash ( - ) do not work, and select gives you the "who" function.

DirecTV was not aware of this problem until I got a second replacement unit today because the first receiver I had seemed to be responding incorrectly to two different remotes.

If you are programming another remote, such as a Marantz or Pronto, you can take advantage of the "who" function in the wrong codeset. Set the white remote to the wrong code, learn the "who," then set it to the proper codeset for everything else. The correct codeset does not have the "who" function.

The lady I talked to today at DirecTV had never heard of this but saw the problem immediately. To discover the problem takes exceeding picky description attempts. I asked the other guy a few days ago if DirecTV had more than one code for the 360, and he said no. Today, I asked if they had more than one code, which is 01276, for the 360, and the lady said, "no, the 360 only has one code, but that is not it." Her literature has separate listings for the two models.



edit: corrected the 01276 entries

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Ernie, its 01276. I have couple of the white remotes, one accepts code 01609, the other doesn't. The big difference between the two is, one has the RF circuitry, that one accepts 01609.

No other UEI universal remote has code 1609 on board. The two newest ones, the OFA urc-8820/10820 have the biggest library of codes I have seen in preprogrammed remote. Although they didn't include codes for the D10/H10 sats. :( UEI made the oem for those Sats, and have had upgrade codes for them for over a year.
