DirecTV Remote and Hisense TV Compatibility

My DirecTV remote works with the Hisense TV Brand. However, it only works with the Hisense TV if you agree to utilize the Google application, download and install.

The problem I'm currently experiencing is that even after programming the DirecTV remote and installing the Google application, the Hisense TV does not retain the remote pairing settings and after powering off the Hisense TV and powering back on, the DirecTV remote no longer functions (volume, guide, etc.).

Is there a firmware update for the Hisense TV or DirecTV remote to address this problem?

Hello. thank you for your reply. I tried this. @2x after the initial programming of the remote. I checked Hisense for firmware updates as well. Still, the problem remains.
