I've also got config files that differ on those points. Could you confirm for me that the lower remote _doesn't_ change the volume or channel when you use the directional keys? Thanks!

Yes, I can confirm it.

So how does it work? I said that the RCs are interchangeable. On the upper RC(it's the older TV's one) you can't find a d-pad, nor a previous channel button. Using previous channel with the other RC does nothing on the older TV.
The D-pad is different.
On the newer RC(lower), it just works as a normal d-pad, nothing special. But you can use twe volume and channel keys too! You can fully control the menu with vol+-, CH+-, and menu buttons. That's what you see merged on the upper RC.
So yes, the lower RC has a d-pad, but it's just a comfort feature, you can live without it.

I hope my English is understandable.
