The Xbox 360 comes with some great features extending it beyond a Games Console to a DVD player and media extender connecting your PC to your TV via your home network.
For this reason it’s quite nice to have the Xbox 360 remote control, but unfortunately this little convenience will set you back $30. That is unless you have a DirecTV remote control.
The instructions below explain how you can use your DirecTV remote control to control your Xbox 360. There are little details on what restrictions it has but it appears that it will only allow you to skip chapters on a DVD, view the main menu and use secondary select.
- Switch the DirecTV remote to AV-1. Point the remote away from your receiver. Press and hold the select and mute buttons until the light above the AV-1 switch blinks twice.
- Press 991, then press 2. Now press Power.
- Press Ch. Up 35-40 times, pausing between each press. The light above AV-1 should go on every time you press it.
- When your Xbox 360 turns on, immediately press Select.
This Xbox 360 hack was done with the RC-32 DirecTV remote control.
