Hi there,

After a power failure in our city, my magic remote doesn't work properly no more. Before I could zapp channels via the magic remote p ^ or down, or via the scroll wheel.

Now, power on and off and volume up and down works and all the other buttons too, except channel up/down.

I like to zapp channels with the magic remote again. Unregister and pairing again doesn't work.

I remember configuring settings the first time I used the tv, and I had to pick a remote control type number. This was number 4 or 5 for my tv and the magic remote worked. Unfortunately I can't find this setting no more.

Can anybody help me?

Some more info: connecting decoder and magic remote is the problem. I found the setting to pick the remote type but the setting I used to use doesn't work no more.

A new type number (15) works for program - but not for program +. Strange.
