will not change channels

My TV will not change channels.  Have tried two changers to no avail.  Can increase volume and turn on and off but cannot access Guide or Xfinity buttons.  Any ideas?

Excuse me, forgot to say which fix worked.
I press the setup, hold, type in the 3 digits... And it works!
Thanx!

if you have an X1 box, your XRE may be out of sync. Simply unplugging it and pluggit back in may fix it.

If that's not it and your volume is working AND your tv powers on and off, hold down set up, when the light turns green press "xfinity" and put in the 3 digit code. I've seen this happen (not often tho)

XRE was apparently out of sync after playing a BluRay disc.  Setup>Infinity>code solved the problem.

I was also led to put un codes for the TV by brand and A/V system by brand.

This resolved the problem.

Thank you.

what color is the LED flashing (and does it flash 2 colors)? did you try rebooting the X1 set top box by unplugging the power for 20-30 seconds?

Thank you so much for the "fix" or should I call it my "almost daily used fix."
Every time I change the daily time my x1 box auto restarts, I am stuck on the channel I was watching & my remote can only turn my tv off/on or work the tv's volume. This also occurs sometimes if I'm searching too deeply for movies or specifically celebrities... The only way I could regain control was to unplug the box... However, if I'm watching something I have paused or want to rewind...as you know, I lose the program I was watching, argh!
This fix puts the box & myself back in control without interrupting what I was watching 🤗! Thank you again very much!
