Used it for several months now. The RF (Radio Frequency) functionality works (ability to operate the remote from another room, for example), except for the Volume and Mute button. I think, the reason is that the RF functionality works with the Cable Box (which has the RF receiver), but the Volume and Mute is button is connected to the TV, which works only with IR (Infrared). In my opinion, it's mostly the Volume and Mute button that someone would need to use from another room (You wouldn't check the TV Guide from another room, right?!!). And that function is not working since the TV operates only on IR (You need to be in front of the TV), so the perk of having RF on this remote is kinda obsolete (except for bragging rights!) The only benefit would be just the convenience of being able to operate it when there is a physical barrier in front of the Cable Box. The light up feature is kinda cool when you first purchase the remote (another thing to show off!), but c'mon... after using the older version of this Direct TV remote (which looks EXACTLY the same), you're kinda used to all the buttons anyway, and can use it with your eyes closed (don't really need the light up function - I have never used the function JUST to be able to see the buttons!). BUT overall, happy with the device. Decision is yours :)Read full review

The back lit keys are very helpful for late night and early morning TV viewing!

Good to have back-light option for late night bedtime TV viewing.

Works great. Only problem is when the light is on for the keypad, there is a loud buzzing that is louder than the TV volume.
