RF not compatible with legacy receivers |

I purchased this remote to replace the original remote that came with my legacy RCA DRD486RH receiver that has a number key no longer working. The unit is easy to program to work with this receiver but it will only work in IR mode not RF. I called DIRECTTV tech support and was advise via email- "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."
I think DIRECTV should put the last statement in their product literature but that is another story. I particularly like the fact that this remote has one button that can be used to turn on/off both the TV and the receiver. However, since I cannot get the RF capacity it is not a usable remote for my application.
Thank you for your feedback on this review. We appreciate your input!
