Is there a way to make my Directv remote navigate the TV's home screen?

Hi, We just purchased the Insignia TV. We also have Directv via satellite. I have paired our Directv remote to turn the TV on, off, and to control the volume. However, as soon as the TV is on, the screen shows the TV's home screen, and the Directv remote will not navigate to the satellite input. Is there a way to make my Directv remote navigate the TV's home screen?

If your using a rc7X Remote --the (input) Key is the ENTER button bottom right next to the ZERO Button --have you tried that?

You're a genius!!  Thank you so very much.  Now we can watch the new TV without juggling between two remotes.
