Programming Genie Remote with Hisense 65 inch TV

I just purchased a Hisense 65 inch Google TV (65A7) and want setup the Genie Remote so it controls the TV and direct TV box on/off.  I already had the Genie remote programmed with a soundbar so only needed to change audio input on TV.  When I tried programming the Genie Remote the model number of my TV isn't on the list.  Is there another model number I can use or do I need to call Direct TV?

speaker control.   Yes

Turn TV on - Yes

Tuen TV off - NO

should I call Directv?
