ALL control is there through the web interface, it streams, displays all graphics, turns on/off, etc. I just have no front panel/remote functionality.


This is a very long shot, not likely... but try loosening the four srews that hold the fascia in place. It is possible to position the fascia in such a fashion that it binds up the buttons (not sure about the rotary knob) in such a fashion that the buttons will depress, but not far enough to make electrical contact.

The remote might be a separate problem.

It's worth a try -- on the off chance that it works, it is the easiest/cheapest fix possible.
