Oh dear, how distressing for you. Why don't you just get up and change the channel yourself.

Look in the documentation with the set and see if theres any info on ordering spare parts. Expect to pay around £20.

Clean the Infra-red sender on the remote and the receiver on the set. If you do need a replacement remote consider whether a one for all or similar will be cheaper

You might also want to check that nothing is getting in the way of the infrared signal. Have a look around see if anything could be. I know I sometimes have a simular problem when its very sunny.

Why is it everyone who has trouble speaking clear and correct english comes to *this* forum, out of all the ones out on the net.

I hardly think that you would goto all the trouble to searching on the net for remote control help, find this site, register then post. When you can just go to your local Dixon's or Curry's and get an all in one replacement remote for about £15.

are you foreign or something because you can't talk properly. Plus don't use darkred as a colour unless you are talking about a certain newsreader.
