Remote issue

Hello, I am just a low budget person using a low priced plan on Xfinity TV only/ No streaming (don't want any streaming)'.

Just today, for the first time ever, my remote, even with with new batteries cannot do just about anything to change the last

channel I was watching last night (no last channel.. numbers not working .. sound volume not working) Channel number not working ...

I tried  doing things from the help assistant. My cable bx is an old one with tall green light PAX 50178...

I was told to go to the store and get a new box. I just want to avoid being moved up to something more expensive.

Thanks for any help.  Bob.

Hello this is Bob who asked the question,

Somewhere I read something about unplugging the Box

I did this, and waited about 15 seconds, then plugged it in again.

I got a black screen for a while ,,,

And then my remote control was working properly again.

Thanks

Hi there @Analog_Guy!  Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to Xfinity Support here on our Community Forum.  We are so glad to hear from you and are more than happy to assist in any way that we can in getting your remote control issue resolved.  From what you are saying, it sounds like you have completed a hard reset of your box and things should be back to working without issue.  How are things since completing that reset?
