Can I program my Directv stream remote to control my Hisense TV?

Bought a new Hisense TV and started Directv Stream simultaneously.  Already lost the TV remote so it's now a pain to change the input setting every time we turn on the TV.  Is it possible to program the Gemini remote to control our Hisense TV, especially the input button? TIA

Sincerely, Sean Hoffert

Yes, @Cheese22. The Gemini remote can control the input of your TV. Just go to Settings > System > Remote & Devices > Program Your Remote, then choose the TV manufacturer (Hisense) and follow the prompts to complete.

Suggest you contact the TV MFG or EBAY and BY an older TV remote for your TV MFG as most MFG do not change the Remote Codes from one year to the next.
