Remote will only work starting yesterday about two feet from the unit. I feel like I am back in the 80’s early 90’s having to get up and walk over to the tv to change the channel. Is there a fix to this or out of luck? Oh yes, before I speak to someone from dell yes I powered it off and on and replaced the batteries.
