Can’t pause or rewind- set top box does not support

This is so frustrating! We have to reset the cable box every day.  Will a new box even fix this?

why the need to reset every day?

Hello @user_a535bd. I am sad to hear your cable box does not pause or rewind. It has been a couple of days. Are you still having issues, or were you able to get this resolved?

I've had a similar issue.  We have a new TV attached to the box (Samsung).  I can't pause I get "Pause isn't available. This set-top box doesn't support it.  Without Pause - I can't fast forward.  I also can no longer rewind (I get the same error).  This used to work just fine.    The remote is now paired - and I went through a Restart (no help), then unplugged the Xfinity box and reconnected it (no help).  I then did a full System Refresh.  That didn't help, either.  So I don't want to call Xfinity and have them read from a script and ask me to do what I've already done. I've seen other messages recently on this forum and elsewhere - that this has been a common problem.  However - I haven't seen any solution that has worked for everyone (and in most cases, it hasn't worked for many). 

If anyone that reads this has figured out how to fix the rewind/pause/fast-forward problem - please post here!
