I'm not following you. What exactly do you mean when you say your television "forgets" its own remote? This should not happen. The remote which came with your TV was built and programmed to operate the set, with the remote functions likely permanently burned into an IC. There is no way, that I am aware of, anyway, the programming IC could "lose" its information if this is the case.

I cannot see how, for the life of me, a factory remote would or could "forget" its own programming, for reasons I just mentioned. These remotes are, again, factory-programmed in such a way that it is impossible for the controller to lose its programming, even if the batteries go dead. Programming for special functions of the television may be lost if the batteries fail, but the basic functions (power on/off, volume +/-, channel up/down, mute) will still work, even if there are no batteries in the remote or if the batteries get weak or go dead.
