Remote stops working in live TV (OTA) ONN 70" TV

After I select live TV from the home menu the remote works to allow me to select an OTA TV station.  After that station is tuned on for 5-30 seconds, the TV stops responding to the remote.  I cannot change channels, pause, go to the guide etc.  The light on the TV blinks when I use a remote button and I hear a faint "click" noise from the TV speaker indicating it receives the signal but nothing happens.

 

The only remote buttons that will work are the "home" volume, and * buttons.  If I use the home button I can select live TV again and change channels one time.

 

All remote functions work just fine in apps like Netflix, prime video, etc.

 

The issue started about a week ago.

 

Performed a full reset of the TV... no change.

Updated software... no change.

 

Please help.  I'm about to put this TV in the bin and go buy something that isnt a giant POS.

  • Figured it out. My live tv pause usb must be corrupted. I removed the usb stick and the problem went away.

        Thank you. This solved the problem for me too. I was ready to replace the tv prior to finding this.
