DTV Remote with Hisense roku TV

Hi.  My Directv remote controls my Hisense roku tv on/off, volume and changing the channel, when I have the TV manually set to the HDMI port the box is plugged into to.  What I can't seem to figure out is how to toggle between the inputs and also make selections once on the home screen of the Roku TV.  I tried pressing the "inputs" button on the bottom right of the DTV remote, but that didn't do anything.  Is the DTV remote equipped to handle these capabilities on the Roku TV?

I don’t believe the remote can actually control the Roku TV itself, you’d need the respective Roku remote for that. As far as Inputs not working, you could try re-pairing the remote with the TV by utilizing the different codes. What is the receiver model and remote model?  (Remote model is on the top left where it says RCxx).

You need to press and hold the enter button till the light blinks twice then release and press again to cycle through the inputs on the RC7X remotes.   You need to program an RC6X remote input button.  DTV remotes are not made to control any other TV functions other then on/off and volume and then only in IR.
