Cant figure this out.  When the TV is turned off you can use the dish remote to change channels, turn dish on and off and pull up menus and such, when TV is on dish remote doesn't work at all.  Wtf???

Help

How do you turn the TV on? Is there a "tv" button on the remote that you use? If so, then the remote probably still thinks it's set to "tv".

How do you see menus if the TV is off?

I use the TV remote to turn it on and the dish remote for the dish stuff.  Haven't paired the dish remote to the TV yet

I turn TV off, press guide/menu/channel then turn TV on and there's the menu/guide/new channel

Was the ambient light sensor on the Sony LCD TV, when it brightened the the TV pic the light interfered with the ir on the remote.  Neato
