I have a direct tv remote that is the Genie rc73. A red led started
coming on and sometimes it will go off. While on the remote will not
work. Anyone else have this problem ? I did leave the batteries out
for a while and put in new ones but the red led stays on.
I called them and they are just going to send me a new one. They do
charge $ 15 for that.

A used replacement rc73 remote is cheaper on eBay: <https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=directv+rc73>

Checked and even the new units are cheaper. If I have another one go
bad I will look on ebay first.
Will give the alcohol treatment a try. I have some 90 and 99 % as I do
some hobby work on the SMD boards. May have to mix some water with them.
I was curious as to the red light as there is a green light that comes
on when the buttons are pressed. Do not recall ever seeing the red
light.

"Most of the time, the only reason that you see this light is because
the remote control and the DVR have somehow unpaired."
