DirecTV subscribers can program the satellite receiver remote to control other devices that are connected. DVD players, televisions and VCRs can be controlled by the DirecTV remote. Programming a DirecTV remote to control a Vizio television only takes a few minutes and can help you eliminate the need for several remote controls. Once the remote is programmed, the device can be used to change channels on the Vizio television and to control the volume.
