I usually don't watch TV in the morning, It's all streaming and local channelsbut I felt like it today. I was watching a show which ended..and then nothing else came on, and I couldn't get the remote to work. There was still the name of the channel up in the corner. I was wondering what? So I rebooted the TV and everything seemed fine. The TV has never acted like that before. I hope it was just a temporary glitch. I have just ordered some mounting rails to put up another smart TV in the bedroom. DId your screen ever go blank for a long period of time, so no discernible reason?

Yes, actually, mind started doing that on and off starting two weeks ago. Not sure what's going on. I have an Amazon Fire Stick hooked up on that one.

Glad a reboot fixed it, that would have freaked me out too. Mine froze up once and I just unplugged it for a minute, been fine since. Hopefully yours was just a one time thing.

My Fire stick went wonky a couple times that made me think my TV was on the fritz, but it was just the fire stick.

It probably had something to do with my ISP. They aren't the best.

I am pretty sure it was a temporary glitch. Did you check the batteries inside the remote? May be they need to be replaced.

No, it worked fine when I rebooted the TV.

It happens regularly with some of the local channels. It's the signal not the tv

Glitches and weird things happen all the time on both satellite and streaming.
