I bought the same TV. I contacted Philips and we have to have a remote that is called the green remote. It is what the hotels have to program their tv's and then they place universal remotes in the hotel rooms. I found this remote online for $50 at www.remote.com. If you are like me then you where not informed that you had to do this. Without the green remote, philip's said that the television is useless. Hoped this helped...
