Thank you.
Very strange. I read your post, I left some replies-guesses. Was watching a recorded show, we have xfinity. We went out, shut off the TV. When we returned the remote would turn the TV on, it would not boot up, it would shut itself off. HUH?

I rebooted the modem, I disconnected the power strip connected to the TV and I either fixed it or truth it fixed itself.

Far from a technical expert. I have each related device plugged into a power strip with a spike protector. To reboot it is one switch for each section.
