I have a Beovision LX2800 that I bought on Ebay a few months ago. Until the beginning of this week it was working perfectly. For the last couple of days it has not been responding to the remote.It starts and works OK y when I press the button next to the power switch but I can't control anything. I have replaced the batteries on the Beolink 1000
