Answer 1

You probably need to put in the code to program the remote to the tv. Or it could be the inferred senser for you tv is broken.

Here's a website for remotes codes so you can program your tv.

Well if you purchased just a generic Remote you have no choice but to program it to the TV... The link above is great tool to use. There are more options though then to get a 10 dollar remote from Walmart. Logitech has a remote called a Harmony Remote. It connects to your computer and you download all the devices into it. Keep in mind they usually start at 100 dollars on Average go up to 300. Great to have the electronic lover. I have one my self and I love it.

Answer 3

The problem may be in the TV instead of the remote.  Is it a universal remote that you can test on something else?  Another tv or a vcr or dvd player?  If you are able to, and the remote works then there is a good possibility it isn't the remote but the tv.  Also, be aware that remotes work via infrared light and usually need line of sight so if by chance the sensor on the tv is being blocked this could also cause problems.
