Is this problem with my TV likely to have a fairly easy or affordable repair or is it just not worth the bother?

For about the past six months or so it just randomly shuts itself off. It then will not respond to the remote to turn it back on. (And yes, I’ve replaced the batteries with brand new ones just bought two weeks ago.)
It responds to the remote to shut it off but its absolutely no use to get back on again with the remote.
And just the last two days, and especially tonight, it’s gotten noticeably worse. It’s all the way across the room and it’s getting annoying to have to hop out of bed to manually turn it back on only to have it repeat the same only 5–15 minutes later.
It’s a 32” LCD screen and the brand name is Olevia (used to be sold at Sears) and I bought it used about 2 yrs. ago.
BTW: The remote to which I refer is the original one which came with it (NOT the remote from the service provider.) It’s DirecTv, if that makes any difference.
I am so hoping that one of you excellent Fluther electricity gurus will have a simple fix. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
