I've got problems! My TV remote died some months ago so I've been manually turning the TV on and off - no problems. Finally found the repair place for it and they 'fixed' it. (I say found the repair place because they'd gone into receivership and repair places hadn't been set up yet.) Anyway, remote now worked, TV worked, but they didn't work with each other so I took the remote back to them. Since then they've had it 8 weeks and, I've had no phone calls from them and when I ring them it diverts to the Melbourne service centre who are very nice, but can't help. Anyway, that's not my problem.............
I gave up on the whole thing and bought an all in one remote today and proceeded to 'tune in' the TV. Procedure is - turn on the device you want to tune in - DONE - go through some button pushing steps while it finds your TV code and it will switch your TV off when it finds it - DONE. Press a button to lock that in - DONE. To turn the device (TV) back on, press the CH button every 2 seconds until the TV comes on - NOT HAPPENING!!!!!!!! I've been pushing the CH buttons - CH+ and CH- for hours plus other buttons, plus reading and re-reading the instructions and nothing! I've even turned the TV off at the wall, waited a few minutes, but my TV refuses to come back on. The red stand by light is showing and that's it! There is absolutely nothing! Black screen & zero sound, not a crackle, not a flicker, not a sound of warming up at all. It's as if my TV died while it was tuning in. A possibility but what a coincidence that would be! I'm not game to try the DVD player, VHS or IQ box in case I make matters worse (can they be worse?).
Anybody very clever with this sort of thing and can hazard a guess as to how to cancel anything I've done already to go back to the way things were.
It's the $20 remote that Aldi was selling last week.
All this just so I can control the volume and on/off, because everything else works through the Optus Remote!
