You can use a smartphone as a remote in the DirecTV app. Be warned, if you have not logged into the app or your online account before, it is a bit of a process.

Nope, If you have the protection plan then DTV will replace it otherwise they are cheaper online. The HR44 and below have either touch screen buttons or buttons to manually control the receiver.
