Funny that, my Samsung has just started doing exactly the same: changing channel and cycling through about 6 different ones without the remote being used then when I try to put it back to the original channel the remote is locked out for a minute or so, which is really annoying.

It does, however, coincide with the fact I have just changed my TV from a traditional CRT to a 46" 100hz Toshiba HDTV so I have assumed it's high frequency electromagnetic interference from the HDTV that is causing glitches in the Samsung box.

I'm living with it for now as I'm getting V+ installed on Monday so hopefully the V+ boxes are have more robust RF shielding...really really don't want to send my TV back!
