Amazon Echo Dot and Xfinity X1

Hello. I just purchased an Amazon Echo Dot. I see in the Alexa app there is an Xfinity skill that one can enable. However, I’m curious if my Echo Dot can do things like change my channel for me. Example: Can I use my Echo Dot to say change the channel from 1484 to 1458. If so, how? Has anyone been able to do this? Thanks!

... in the Alexa app there is an Xfinity skill ...

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Alexa+Skills+Xfinity&i=alexa-skills says:

The Xfinity Skill connects your Amazon and Xfinity services, allowing you to hear your Xfinity Doorbell through compatible Amazon Echo & Alexa devices.

which agrees with https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/xfinity-video-doorbell-notifications. That appears to be the skill's only capability.
