Well I should know better by now. Do not leave the tv remote within chewing distance. I am not sure which one did it Budford the one year old bloodhound or Cletus the 4 month old Basset. In any case which ever one did it not only did he chew up the remote he locked my tv in lock mode. I have a new remote on order but it will not be here for about 2 weeks. I was just wondering if there is any tv techs out there that could give me some advice on unlocking a tv in lock mode without a remote control. I guess boys will be boys
