I have a remote like that, that, when the channels are locked out on the TV,
does not work. This is a function in the menu someplace, perhaps, that's been
tripped. You might find a listing for "scan"? that would reset it if that's
the problem. Although with my luck, it's an actual physical problem with the
remote...:) However, I thought it was worth mentioning and passing on...
