go into directv box settings and change to IR

go to app, go to "me" select hub software, press your current software 5 times and select whatever software you want

the 3.5 mm ports on the X1 are to weak. I placed the ir extender's ir reciever on the front of the X1 hub and it works great

maybe what are you trying to do

are you using ios or android

what about the exit key

I use Android phone

Learn the inputs from the receiver remote to the tv cmmands and add it to activity

the same way you do in devices

setup the remote in the activity
