Remote Control The Insignia remote control works everything except turning the TV off and On. Was it designed to work everything except the off and on control. I really need to know at present I am using two remote controls to operate the TV and the converter box

From GUEST: I found this solution in the manual and will perform this task again to see if I can get the tv will be re-recognized again. Give this a try, too.
- Determine if the TV is a model that can be controlled by the remote control. See "Controllable TV brands" on page 17 in the manual.
- Turn on the TV.
- While you press and hold TV POWER on the remote control, press CH ^ or CH v one or more times until the TV turns off. Each time you press one of these buttons, the remote control sends a manufacturer code (between 1 and 45) to the TV.
Remote will not turn on or shut off the TV.
• You must program the converter box remote in order to control your TV power button.
• To program the remote control:
Tried solution that was in the manual. Cannot get the converter box to recognize another tv. The problem of "can't turn tv on/off" continues.
1. Turn Tv On (it has to be on)
2. Press & Hold "Tv Power" button
3. Press Channel button down many times untill the tv turns off
My Insignia remote button (which was programmed from the beginning) for on/off TV worked fine until now! Tried to reprogram, result-nothing! Went to Insignia website, can't order another remote! Now what do I do? Continue to use two remotes!!!!! Why can't I order online??
Apparently it's a conspiracy to get us to buy (1) HD tv's and (2) cable/dish service. We went thru the channels, and the TV went off, but we were still not able to turn it back on using the converter box remote
