Trouble programing new RC66RX remote to HR24-200 receiver

I have tried everything I can find online etc to program this remote to no avail.  I don't fully understand the RF and IR setting but nowhere can I get these options to appear on screen.  Have been working with control buttons on receiver.  About ready to give up.  Please help.

Ir is default mode for all d remotes

Will the remote work on any other receiver that you may have? it should control any receiver (ir) --without pre-programing for say a tv model.

Perhaps the remote is defective?

It is a new remote to replace an old one that is not functioning properly.  It is virtually impossible to get someone at Directv/at&t that can help. They only read instructions that I already have, after you spent an hour or so on hold.  I know it is something simple but I just am not tech savy.

Use the front panel touch buttons on the HR24 to make sure it is in IR mode then if you want reprogram it to RF.
