DIRECTV charges $15–$25 for a new remote, depending on whether you have the universal remote (the white one) or the Genie remote. If you have DIRECTV’s protection plan, the company will replace your remote free.
You can, however, find DIRECTV’s remotes on Amazon.com for far less than $15–$25. A two-pack of DIRECTV RC73 IR/RF Genie remotes is currently $11.75. A DIRECTV IR/RF Universal Remote Control (model RC66RX) is $6.75, and a two-pack of the same remote is $12.00. Both include free shipping through Amazon Prime.
Be sure you know which remote you need—and which receiver you have—before purchasing one. Here’s where you can find that information.
