Hello Steebo15,
I would try reaching out to Direct TV to see if their remote is capable of being programmed with the sound bar. The reason why your able to control the volume is probably because of the Anynet +/ CEC feature that it has with your television.

I can't seem to get my sound bar to turn off and on with the direct tv remote, however I can adjust the volume with it. Any ideas? Thanks
