I just bought a Direct TV RC64R remote to replace a RCA D770 remote to work with my RCA DRD486RH receiver. I had to program the RC64R to work with the receiver (code 00392).
The IR mode works with the receiver but the RF mode does not. On the old D770 to program the RF mode, if needed, you went to a RF menu screen on the receiver and from this screen held down the DirectTV button on the remote while entering a 3 digit code (000-255) then letting up on the DirectTV button and pressed the select button. This locked the remote to the receiver. I used the default setting so did not have to program the remote(D770). I am trying to replace the D770 because some of the number keys are not working. Since the new RC64R doesn't work in RF mode I was wondering what key combination would work on the remote to program it to the receiver since there is no DirectTV button to hold in. I called DirectTV tech support and they could not help. After being transferred and put on hold I was told the remote would not work in RF mode with my receiver. I am not sure I actually believe that and would like to know if anyone has any input.
The DRD486RH is both IR and RF capable but the remote that you have is obsolete.

Update from DIRECTTV Tech support -
"The receivers that are compatible are our HD receivers you would need a H21 or higher for a standard HD receiver and for the HD DVR you would need an HR20 or higher. The R16 and higher are the only standard DVR that is RF compatible.
In addition, this remote in RF capable with DIRECTV manufactured receivers only."
So it will never work in RF mode with this receiver.
