Here's a trick that allows you to use a DirecTV remote to control your Xbox 360 so you no longer need to buy the Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote. Below are the four steps required to perform the trick:

1. First switch your remote to AV1. Point your remote away from your reciever so that when you press a button it won't react. Then press and hold the select and mute buttons untill the light above the av1 switch blinks twice.
2. Press 991, then press 2. After that, press Power.
3. After doing this, press the UP button 30-50 times untill you Xbox 360 turns on (do this slowly cause there is a small delay). If you've done everything correctly while pressing the channel up button nothing should happen on the TV and the light above AV1 will go on each time you hit it.
4. When your Xbox 360 does turn on (after about 5-10 min.), press the Select button to store the code and your done!
I don't have DirecTV, so I'm unable to see if this works or not.
