In short

If you look at the actual DirecTV remote, you'll notice that there are no Page Up/Down buttons. — Staff replied: “Yes. So in other words the buttons are already there because DirecTV uses the same command, same code, same everything, from Channel Up/Down to provide Page Up/Down.”

If you look at the actual DirecTV remote, you'll notice that there are no Page Up/Down buttons. Instead, the Channel Up/Down buttons have a little word "PAGE" on them which means that they serve a dual purpose depending on what screen you're looking at in the DirecTV receiver's user interface.

Can this be replicated on the virtual remote?

Yes. So in other words the buttons are already there because DirecTV uses the same command, same code, same everything, from Channel Up/Down to provide Page Up/Down.
