The "Input/Pair" button, fail?

[tropez]

On occasion I need to change inputs on my TV. When I hit the TV button at the top of the remote for TV "mode", then it the Input button (which is also labeled pair), it does not work as I would expect. With other remotes I would get a list of inputs on the TV since that was the device "mode" I was in. I have yet to find a way to do this with the Hopper remote. I would like to figure this out so I can abandon my OEM TV remote and get it out of my living room. Any ideas, or am I missing something?

In Remote Manager make sure Limited Mode is not Enabled.

As we all know whenever they change the remotes they fix one thing for some TV models that break it for other remotes.

Find a different code for your TV using the remote manager, or, utilize the learn function. You're offered an option to add learned commands to existing code.

Menu->Settings->Remote Manager->TV Code->Learn->Add learned commands to existing code->Start Learning.

Instructions are well laid out for you on-screen. At least you have the OEM remote. Biggest issue as a tech when programming customer TVs on ViP Receivers is if there's no code, and they don't have an OEM remote, I can't help them.
