Just started doing this as previously the virgin remote would turn off the tv 

When I use the off button on the virgin remote I get a Entering Standby message on the TV screen and the set top box turns off!

rebooted set top box, changed remote batteries and checked the remote is paired to the tv

 tried other virgin remotes and all do the same

tv will turn off using the tvs own remote

any help welcome please

Thanks for the update David.

Hopefully it continues working OK,  but any more issues with the remote please follow the advice in the above link, and if that fails to correct the issue, then order a replacement remote (the link to order online is on the last page in that help section)
