Remote is not working 

Keep in mind that a "remote" problem might be caused by the remote not sending the correct signals, OR by the device receiving the signals not processing them correctly. With that in mind, some "first aid" suggestions:

  1. Unplugging the cable box for a minute or so to reset it
  2. Changing the batteries in the remote 
  3. Replacing the remote
  4. Replacing the box

Consider getting another remote so you have a spare. Test the spare to make sure it's working, then remove the batteries (so they don't drain and cause corrosion), and maybe store it with a copy of the programming instructions from https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/programming-your-xfinity-remote.

If you need to replace the remote, see https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/lost-or-broken-remote-controls
