Projectors that respond to all remote control futions

I am in need of a new projector.  Can anyone suggest a projector that is compatible with the Genie remote?

Genie remotes will only control volume and on/off.

The RC7X series (Genie or "peanut style") does not control all functions of a projector or other device. It is for power, volume, and changing input/source only. Everything else is for DirecTV.

 

The old style white universal RC6X series had mode selection that could control many functions of other devices. But it wasn't guaranteed and costs more to produce. So DirecTV went with a more appropriate remote going forward.

 

If you want a true universal remote, you will need to try ones from a 3rd party.
