Hi, it may be your remote starting to act up, in which cause your best bet is to replace it. Also check for interference from other sources in the area -- portable phones, microwaves, Bluetooth devices, etc. Make sure the remote has a clear line of sight to the sensor on the TV, and make sure that sensor isn't being blocked by anything.
