Direct TV remotes have special instructions to "program"
various Television manufacturer's equipment into each of their units. Simply by inputting the appropriate codes the "TV"
Once PROGRAMMED they will operate the set and the "DIRECT" equipment together...
Typically some fine set "MENU" items will not be available... so it is wise the keep your REGULAR REMOTE around for those SPECIAL APPLICATIONS.

DirecTV has an optional remote that is able to learn the command pattern from the original remote. Costs a little bit, but is an alternative. Call up DirecTV, if haven't already, as sometimes they will have new codes that are not published in the manual (receiver) yet.
Since you did not specify the model number, you can get the instructions for programming your Direct TV remote at http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/content/remote_codes

DirecTV offers a remote code lookup tool, which I just used to find possible codes for my Westinghouse TX-42F430S; its first suggestion (the "most popular" code) didn't work. Clicking the "It's not here" button showed seven more codes, and one of them (11577) worked perfectly. Here is the full list of Westinghouse codes for DirecTV from that tool (as of 11/27/08):
Most Popular Code: 10885
Other Possible Codes: 10889 10890 11577 11282 10451 10000 11092
