Yes it is, I've yet to see the backlit one in the wild. I would assume you'd need to call back and see if you can order one and have it drop shipped

RC71B

It will be the luck of the draw if i will get the RC71B the guy told me.

If you read the description of the backlit remote, you see it's of the older type of remote, just has the wrong photo. There is no backlit rc71.

There is a back lit 71, I've just never seen one personally but according to Directv's monthly video there is one but we don't stock them like a normal remote

RC71B

I called and talked to someone in tech and he found it, and called it RC71B.

Just so you know, the 71 series remotes only work with the HR44 in rf mode.

I'd like a backlight RC71 for the bedroom, in fact I was surprised there wasn't one out when I upgraded to the HR44.

Simply put - I hit the PREV button way too often when trying to find the 30 second skip by feel in the dark.

Then again, for some bedrooms, they should have this one. http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.as...ng-(RC70H)&c=DIRECTV Remotes&sku=700112818752 I like the backlit keyboard idea. I know that almost everyone has their smartphone and/or tablet in their bedroom with them, but of course you cannot control the volume on the tv or other device, unless Internet connected, or third party device for volume control.

No they have a back lit 71 remote, I figured directv would have it showing on their website by now

RC71 remote is showing up but not one person knows about it. WHY? Ilike to have it.

There will be an RC71B but it is not available yet!

Bad link ?

It worked when I clicked on it. Just go to Solidsignal.com and pull up the DirecTV Remotess. This is the info for the remote for that link. The only thing is, that it is a Hotel remote, but you get the idea. Remotes are the worse culprit for bacteria growth. I would like the Backlit for out bedroom, now that it was brought up. But there are some that need the Germ free remote in their homes, or workplaces.

I tried the link, and it worked. May just be how Solidsignal.com does their url's. The remote is the Hotel one, that is Anti-microbial. Was not meant to be off topic, just a suggestion, since the other as being stated, is not available. Worse culprits of bactera are remotes, cellphones, keyboards & mice.

I have seen keyboards & remotes so bad, that they were actually growing fuzz on them. Due to how much gunk & bacteria was on them.

I think that really the best way if you want a way to have a lit remote, is just use your smartphone or tablet. At least then, you can design your own remote control app, if you are good with programming, if you do not find one in particular that meets your needs.

RC71B

The link is RC70H not RC71 or RC71B and again i reread the Directv web page for the RC71. So at some point we will have a blacklit RC71 or RC71B.

It's here:

Don't know why DirecTV won't let us have it?

 

[twizt3dsist3r]

You can get it from directv...
