Good shout oldboy i havent changed them in years as i always use my virgin remote...ill give that a go. If this has actually caused it then I’ll laugh my head off haha. I cant be this lucky surely!

Nah only virgin media sadly! I basically live in my boxroom and I’ve got a computer right next to my tv table so there isn’t much room to play with haha

I’m not sure what any of this means? I don’t think my tv is new enough to have any of these but I’m completely ignorant! Turned itself off before and didn’t turn on for about 40 seconds before finally the red light kicked in and it came back on!
