remote useless until I "reset" HDMI cable on HR21

How's this for an issue with the HR21? I turn on the system, but the remote will only work the power, volume and mute buttons until I reach behind the sat box and move/tug upwards on the HDMI connection while hitting some other key on the remote like "Guide". From then on the remote will work until I turn off the TV. The next time I turn on the TV, I have to go through the same procedure. I reached this conclusion after testing connections, BBC modules, resetting the box from the front panel, unplugging for an hour, doing the "DELETEARCHIVE".... Ready to call for a replacement since I know that workaround won't continue to work much longer. 90 days not up yet. Other HR21 works fine.
