The easiest way to fix your remote is by pressing and holding the Mute and Enter button until you see “Applying IR/ RF setup” appear on the screen. Resetting the receiver may restore remote functions. Near the access card is a red reset button, press and hold that until the receiver restarts.

Likewise, why does my DirecTV remote not change channels? Change the channel using the channel up/down buttons on the receiver. If you can change channels on the receiver, change the batteries in your remote. If you cant change channels from the receiver, turn it off and unplug it. After at least 15 seconds, plug the receiver back in and turn it on.
