user_0dyhc0 Hi there! If your remote isn’t working and you’re looking to unpair or reset it, here’s a quick way to do it depending on which Xfinity remote you have (like the XR11, XR15, etc.).
Here’s a simple reset that works for most Xfinity remotes:
Press and hold the A (triangle) and D (diamond) buttons together until the LED light on the remote changes from red to green.
Once it’s green, press 9-8-1. The LED should blink blue twice—this means your remote has been reset and unpaired.
After that, try pairing it again:
Point the remote at your TV Box, press and hold the Microphone (Voice) button, and follow the on-screen instructions to re-pair it.
If the remote still isn’t responding at all (no lights, no reaction), it might just be time for some fresh batteries—definitely worth a quick swap!
If you have any issues, please let us know, we are here to help!
Hi @user_kizt5i, thanks for reaching out to our Xfinity Community Forums Support, I hope the day has been treating you well. I hate to hear you're having issues with a frozen picture. Have you tried unplugging the power cord to your cable box to restart it?
Also, Samsung TV's typically auto recognize the source/input and will require you to first complete the setup using the Samsung remote, before it will allow you to finish the setup. So if you are stuck on the remote set up portion and trying to use the Xfinity remote, try using your Samsung remote. Let me know if this helps.
