Changing Input Options

My 43" TV is about 18 months old. Initially I set it up to use with a cable input and managed nicely. However we do have a DVD player (No barbs here please!) and I fumbled my way into getting that up. That also worked out after many fits and starts. However I'm encountering problems whenever I switch from one to the other. The options available have always HDMI1 and HDMI2 along with other alternatives. However it seems that frequently the "other" option is no longer on the screen and I have to go to the left and scroll down to find it, generally after switching from the DVD HDMI2 to try and get back to the TV HDMI1. I'll admit being uncomfortable with my options as this TV is far more advanced than the older Samsung I used to have. Is there a simple way to "force" the HDMI options to remain on the list without heading off to the left? It's bad enough that I need to physically switch inputs to make use of my Xbox but that isn't too frequent and I somehow manage.

Although I'm on the other side of 70 I consider myself pretty savvy with most things, but this is getting frustrating and annoying.

And the placement of the TV Information label to be right where the input cables are is another story altogether but this time I'm making a permanent label that I can see without taking the unit off the wall.

You should have commented on Samsung Tvs remote controls. The fact that they neither light up nore have a keyboard is a problem by itself.
I keep my phone to lowest connected devices possible. I will do the opposite once Samsung batteries respect themselves, either introducing real fast chargings or bigger batteries.

I fail to understand the comment about posting in the Samsung Controls forum and I'm quite confused about the comment about "failing to light up". The reference to a cell phone has no apparent connection to my question. This question is TV related only.
