Nice poem.

So are you saying :
(1) the TV remote does work a bit in that it gives the menu but doesn't allow you to change channels. (Does it allow you to do anything on the menu- eg change volume?)
(2) you can change TV channels using the recorder remote?

yes i can use the menu with tv rem
but if i record a prog
i cannot watch tv

check that all the buttons work on the tv remote by holding it next to a detuned AM transistor radio, pressing the keys should give you a few bleeps each time. If it does not bleep on some keys, then the remote is probably faulty.
