Erratic behavior... the buttons do random stuff. "CH Up" turns the power on/brings up the menu. "Menu" brings up the 'Guide Plus' screen/changes the channel down....etc. Picture is great on the channel it is stuck on and the sound is great on the volume it is stuck at. I can't get a remote to do anything but turn the power off, not back on. The function(s) that the buttons perform are not consistent. since the remote won't work either, it makes me think it may be braindamaged... Any help is greatly appreciated because I hate watching the game on my other tv, a thirteen inch somethin... thanks.
