Sony TV IR commands stopped working...

[Jerry — MacSolutions]

Well, Our little one is only 4 months old so she still just rolls  
around a drools.  I guess the wife could have had peanut butter on her  
hands but I doubt it.

The TV is about 11 years old now and I've been waiting until late in  
the year to replace it.. Closer to the DT move and hoping the price of  
HD TVs drops even more.  (Am I deluded?)  I can't justify changing out  
the TV because I have to get my butt of the couch to turn up the  
volume.  Everything else works fine.

I guess I'll just unplug the TV tonight for a few hours and hopefully  
it's a logic problem and will reset after the power drains...
