Can't change channels

1-2 times randomly a day (that I know of), I am not able to access any functions of X1 with my remotes. I can however turn my

TV on and off and adjust the volume. The X1 functions return on their own in 1-5 minutes. I have

5 boxes and when I can't work one TV, all the others also have the same problem. Also, when this is happening,

my internet is working and there are no error messages. ...Since 5 boxes and 5 remotes fail at the exact same time,

I doubt if the problem in on my end.  Any solutions?

Have you tried sending a reset signal to your boxes - this was an older problem that may have returned?

@MikeB39A​ The boxes have been manually unplugged besides the daily update. You say "older problem",

but I can't find a similar problem being discussed.
