Gemini Remote refuses to turn TV off

I have the same issue as many others on here with a Hisense TV. Remote has been programmed both Standard and Manual with the TV Model#.

No CEC involved.

Power off devices is turned on.
It turns off the Directv streaming device plugged into the back of the TV, but not the TV itself.
I have tried resetting the remote and re-pairing it many times.
The volume works, as do all the other buttons.

When I power it off, Directv goes off and I get the "no input" message from the TV.
The weirdest part is that it WILL turn the TV ON (along with Directv) after I turn it off with the regular TV remote, just not OFF.

It's crazy to have to use a second remote just to turn the TV off after turning off Directv with the Gemini Remote.
I see a lot of posts about this, but no actual solutions. Has anyone actually solved this?
