jsevans9906,
I'm not sure which model of DirecTV box you have, and it was unclear which remote control you were trying to program. Could you provide a little more detail, such as the remote control model, the box model number and who provided the codes you used?
Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Just purchased LN52A850. Remote code for Sony Sat Box would not work. Tried all 000 to 074 - no luck.
Please help!
Thanks
