Hi Simon, Well, since Saturday, no mysterious TV going on and off here. I do know what you mean, though, about accidentally invoking the touch surface. Last night we were watching TV, and I reached over the remote to pick something up off the table. I guess I was too close to the remote, because it stopped the TV show, and took us into some kind of media menu or something. That'll take some getting used to. With the old remote, it was really hard to accidentally do anything.
