My TV has the new SMART remote. The first time I plugged everything in and pressed the power button, the TV came on. Now, it will not respond to the power button at all. If ON, will not turn off, if off, will not turn on. LG is sending me a new remote, but I don't have any confidence this will fix it.
I also have a Harmony 720 remote which I programmed, and it will not turn it on or off. The only way I can get it to change is to use the button on the side. My Harmony remote turns off the Directv box and with no signal, it just goes to the standby with the LG icon revolving.
