AT&T U-verse® TV Point Anywhere RF Remote Control

Introduction

Congratulations on your new AT&T U-verse TV Point Anywhere RF Remote Control. This remote, with the USB converter, eliminates the need to point your remote control at the AT&T U-verse Receiver to change channels or access receiver features. This universal remote control can operate up to three additional devices, such as a TV, DVD player, or audio device, and can learn commands from existing remote controls.

NOTE: The Point Anywhere RF Remote Control operates the AT&T U-verse Receiver using RF (radio frequency) technology. All other devices are controlled using IR (infrared) signals.
