Here's my specs...
46" Sharp Aquos LCD
Scientific Atlanta 8300HD digital cable box
Ok, this is wierd and I'm desperate for any ideas. When the LCD is off, the remote operates the DVR box. It powers up, powers down, changes channels...all can be verified using the digital readout.
When the LCD is on, the remote won't do anything. However, I can still change channels and do whatever using the controls on the box like nothings wrong. I don't get it. I tried "chatting" with Time Warner but they don't know anything and gave me the "replace your remote" crap.
How could a TV prevent a DVR box from recieving a signal from the remote, or acting upon that signal? I'm desperate...we just got this LCD (upgraded from a poopy 21" tv/dvd combo) and HD DVR (upgraded from standard DVR).
Help!!
EDIT: Ok, I unplugged all inputs to the LCD. When the TV is on, it still prevents any controller from operating the DVR box (I programmed the LCD controller to the DVR as well). So the tv itself is putting out some kind of interference that renders the remotes useless to the DVR box, but I can still control the sound system with the remote. Is this even possible?
