    I just programmed a remote for my elderly neighbor. He acted as though I was a discipline of the Lord for my talents. I gave you credit and he sends many thanks.

      I have 4 RC73 Remotes. None of them will flash the light when I hold the Mute & Select button. I held one for over 30 seconds.
      AT&T is a communication company. Why do they not have a customer service number with a Human Being ??

    Doug my man, you do it all. First you change my life with air fryers and kitchen gadgets and now this! I literally had no idea that this existed until I needed to reprogram my remote. Thanks Doug 😃.

    Wow, your instructions are right, as opposed to the on screen instructions.
    Briefly: press and hold mute and select until double blink. 961, channel up, enter.

    • @BanjackGames
      @BanjackGames 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I currently work @ AT&T Directv technical support, I would have to say that Douglas is correct in saying that they fluff you a lot over the phone. It's due to there protocols and proceedures. I personally try to get the customer in and out as fast as possible however, but the employee systems do get in the way of doing so. Good video and if I could refer customers to it I would.
