Well, I figured it out. I narrowed it down to the cable box so I unplugged it to reset and that did the trick. Not sure if it was just a coincidence that it happened when I first started using my new remote or not. I was hoping to get back here to erase the message before anybody replied, but Larry was too quick for me. Thanks Larry and everybody else on this forum who has helped me immeasurably over the years!!
