We bought a replacement after having to replace Directv Genie remote - our soundbar volume wouldn't sync up with the new Genie remote. Rather than spend money to call Geek Squad again, tried a $9 solution for now - new remote works fine, still can't sync soundbar with Genie remote, but at least we don't have to get up to change volume. Now if I can only get the Genie remote to sync up with the soundbar......
Ordered a replacement remote control but was hesitant if it would be an oem original product. By all accounts it is exactly the product I desired. Very happy.
