Samsung 7150 tv remote has very limited range with some functions
When using the remote to watch stuff on netflix or other apps on the samsung 55" 7150 tv, the range on the remote is reduced to about 2 feet. You can't do anything like change the volume, ff, play, stop, etc... unless you walk all the way up to the tv and push the buttons. No luck with samsung customer service so far either. I also switched the remote out with another one from Costco, where I got the tv. Anyone else have this issue?

See many reports of same problem here... http://forums.cnet.com/7723-13973_102-580746/samsung-remote-not-working-properly/
Samsung has know of this for many months. They claim they can not reproduce the problem... yet a visit to Future Shop Demo TV confirmed the problem

It is sad that a multi-thousand dollar TV can not strem Video and respond to a remote control at the same time.
Try an ir extender, something may be interfering with the rf frequency between the remote and the tv
Not sure what that is. If the remote works fine for everything else, I'm not sure that a range extender is the answer for the remote when using apps on the tv. has anyone else had this problem?
