Had this Vizio for less than 2 yrs & the remote ia ALWAYS messing up! The main reason we bought the tv was to watch the Netflix from it, but you need the remote to make it work! Will not buy another Vizio!

I've had my Vizio 24" TV for about 2 years now and never an issue, but all the sudden the remote won't work. It was getting worse and I thought the batteries were just dying, but replacing them hasn't helped. For a while I was having that same issue where straight on didn't work, but if I pointed the remote at the side it was fine. Also my cable remote was programmed for the Vizio and had been working all along but now appears broken as well. I tried reprogramming it so that I could at least turn my tv off from bed without getting up, but nothing! I am so annoyed. It seems like something is wrong with the TV if it's not responding to either remote….right?

Another bad remote here. I called Vizio and was given the standard fixes that have already been mentioned. How lame is Vizio, that this is the first and only TV I've had in 40 years with a remote that failed? I've owned at least 50 TV's at home and 100's at work. Lame Vizio, lame. I'm going on to change my good reviews to negative reviews.

i have the problem of it not working what so ever and i can't watch tv but i looked around and most of the remote problems start after the warranty expires.

fyi, I kept getting the message 66666 then it would read "cable 1081i" but it wouldn't work for any of the functions. After reading and trying a lot of the suggestions that I googled, I tried pushing each button twice as suggested and voila! It worked! Try it what could it hurt? Just remember to press each directional arrow twice and the volume too. My remote is 2 sided so that was a lot of buttons!

55" LED VIA XST553XT w/VUR10 My remote failed after 9 months. The direct tv remote will control the TV as long as you switch to TV mode and then use the menu button to access the VIA menu. other then the keyboard everything still works. TV is still doing great.
