SOURCE: Problem w/ "Cable In" connection socket on Mintek DTV-373-D 37" HDTV
Just contacted QVC and was told by customer no service that they had no information at all on Mintek. Furthermore, I was told that the warranty would be covered by Mintek and not QVC. I must say I did find that a bit suprising. I expect better of QVC. Purchased the same model in November of 06. None of the buttons on the TV will repsond and it has a dvd it won't eject. If I have to pay for service that's fine, but I'd at least like to try to see if it's still under warranty.

As far as I know, no regular universal remote will work with the mintek TV/DVD's.
I have heard that the "Kameleon" remote, from radioshack works with them.
I had the same problem, so I ordered a replacement original remote from ebay for $20. It was the RC-600 for mine (DTV-265 26" LCD/DVD)

Turn on the TV, and the Direct TV receiver, then press MENU on the remote, go to the bottom and select PARENTAL, FAVs and SET UP(press the select button in the remote), then go to SET UP and press select, then go to REMOTE, there you will see all the steps to program your Direct TV remote not only for the tv, the dvd player and the home theater as well. Also you will see ALL the codes for a lot of brands of devices including your TV brand. NOTE: don't go to option on the remote that says "RF/IR", you don't need to adjust that.

I'm assuming you have Cablevision. This is becoming a known problem with their broadcasting system. They have been upgrading and it has been causing the TVs to freeze up on a specific channel .
Simple way to fix it:
1. Unplug tv
2. Unplug coax from tv
3. Plug tv back in
4. In the Menu go to Setup > CH setup > CH Memory > Cable (digital)
5. Enable channel skip for channel that it is currently stuck on
6. Push Menu to exit
7. Change to any other channel
8. Reconnect coax to tv.
Followup:
Avoid this channel and go give Cablevision a call and let them know about it. They won't do anything to fix it until they get a certain number of reported issues about the problem
