Thanks so much guys! Debs, I will read the links when I get home tonight. That was very kind of you to look them up for me.

Here is the Amazon review that concerned me.
" I received my Philips SRU 9600 remote in late May and several weeks later I began the programming required for each piece of equipment. All went well until I tried the Direct TV H-20 satellite dish receiver. The remote allowed me to pick Direct TV from a list of 127 models, but it didn't fuction. Then it prompted me to hold down the "OK" button while it tried all 127 different models. It still didn't function. For several days I tried the customer service number in the manual with waits as long as 45 minutes. I finally got through today and when I explained my problem the tech immediately asked if I had a Direct TV H-10, H-20 and several other Direct TV receivers. He then explained that Philips remotes are not compatible. Of course it is 3 days past my return date so I am stuck because of deceitful ads. "
I may have to call Philips directly to find out for sure. I was just wondering if anyone had any issues with this.
Thanks
