Hi,
First I would check the batteries in the remote control. (silly as it may sound)
External box may work SCART, Composite, DVI or HDMI depending on what you have (maybe you could lend one to try)
Model number of tv would help

Its possible it would work ok but i would check the remote first.
After checking/changing batteries see if the digital/analogue button on remote is not sticking and working correctly.
You can test by viewing the infra-red output from the front of the remote through a camcorder or phone camera. it will light up when you press a button and should stay off when nothing is pressed.
