The uverse remote is not a true universal remote.  It will control the basic operations, i.e., on/off, volume, and sometimes the input select on your tv to switch inputs.  Anything else is luck.  Always keep your tv remote nearby for the tv's additional functions.

Your tv's remote cannot be used to access the functions of your uverse receiver.  That's what the uverse remote is for.  Keep your tv's remote nearby to do any other additional functions (other than on/off and volume and maybe input select) you may need for your tv.
