Afternoon all,

So I'm having a problem with my standard set top box in my bedroom. All was fine for ages and then all of a sudden the set top box would start accepting on/off commands from my TV's remote. We turned them both off and it worked again, but then the next day it started again. it happens all the time now, but it seems to be getting worse, pressing the volume buttons on the TV remote can turn the virgin STB off, and the virgin remote can turn the TV on and off. If you take a barreries out the TV remote then it starts working again, but next day will be broke again.

I have a 21" LCD LG TV, it doesn't have any fancy eco setting on it or anything. It started in think in late january.

Has anyone else seen this, if so any ideas what it is?

Mike
