I purchased this receiver a couple years back.  I no longer have DirecTV.  It's not going to help anyone sitting in my closet.  It will come with a power cord and remote control.  It works perfectly.  If you experience any issues whatsoever, I will refund your money.  If you have any issues turning the receiver on with DirecTV, I will also assist you on the phone with them.  You never know what kind of person you will get on the phone with DirecTV.  Sometimes they know exactly what to do, and other times it's a hassle.
