Remote control

I have just using Direct TV Streaming service. I downloaded the app on a Toshiba fire stick smart tv. I use Netflix and Amazon as well. I also have a sound bar for audio. The Toshiba remote works, but is limited. It does not have any numbers for channel selection, nor a menu button. 

Is there a specific remote that I could use for all of the above?

Nope. Only the proprietary DirecTV Stream and remote supports channel numbers.

There is no menu per se, but up arrow (or maybe down) should get you to the home screen which provides access to most controls. As far as channel numbers - as noted, only the DirecTV branded streamers allow you to actually use them, but you can set the program guide to display them on any of the supported devices if you’d like.
