TV won't respond to remote control

Occasionally, I can't control volume on my tv with remote. When I power everything off, the receiver shuts off, but not the tv. When I try to do a restart, the receiver restarts, but the tv goes to the smart tv screen. At this point, the tv will not react to anything. I can't go to the Menu on the remote control because  nothing shows up on the tv.

Oh geez, I think the problem is with the power strip the receiver & tv are plugged into. Moved the tv power cord to a different spot on the strip and everything seems to be working.. I'll replace the entire power strip tomorrow.

Thank you for letting us know, llcassity!
 
However, please keep in mind that having our AT&T equipment plugged into a power strip can cause power issues with the equipment itself. Due to this, we always suggest it be plugged directly into a wall outlet. We're glad to hear everything is working again!
 
If you need any further assistance, don't hesitate to reach back out to us. Thank you for being a valuable part of AT&T!
