tivo remote not working

My TiVo won't respond to any remote when it is hooked up to my Sharp 37" TV with built in blu ray player. The Tivo only responds to the remote if I turn the TV off. The TiVo is connected to the TV using HDMI.

Suggestions?

I did live chat with a TiVo representative. They said to turn the backlight off on the TV. I did and now the remote is working properly again. Apparently the backlight on the TV can interfere with the remote signals.

I had a problem like that just a few days ago, turned out one of my other remotes was stuck on transmitting and interfering with the Tivo remote reception!
