Color Buttons Question

I'm using the RC66.

So far I have found that none of the color buttons, except the Red button, do anything.

Any way to assign commands to the other the buttons? (Green, Yellow and Blue)

Also, I've programmed remote with my Dynex tv.

Most commands work except the up/down buttons. In order for me to navigate the Dynex menu I need

to press the loft or right directional buttons.

Nope,  DTV remotes are only made to turn on/off and control the TV volume and the input, not to control TV functions.

AFAIK the color buttons are used in the DTV guide to advance the guide + - 12 hrs.

I understand that.

But, when I need to switch tv inputs I need to move up or down to select the input.

On my Sharp tv I don't have this issue. I can move the selection up or down to select the input.

With the Dynex pressing the up or down buttons does nothing. I nee to press the left or right buttons to move the selection up or down.

On the RC6X series, usually you keep pressing the dedicated TV input button (if programmed) to cycle through the inputs.
