## Description

The **Remote For DirecTV RC66** Chrome extension allows users to control most DirecTV receivers equipped with infrared (IR) support directly from their phone. It requires your phone to have a built-in infrared sensor or the ability to connect an external IR sensor through the 3.5mm audio jack. This app provides a simple and convenient way to replace or supplement the traditional DirecTV remote control without needing the official app.

Please note, this extension is not affiliated with or endorsed by DirecTV or AT&T, and it solely functions with compatible receivers featuring IR capabilities. It offers an accessible solution for remote control functionality using standard IR technology.
