XiD-P no longer able to stop/pause, forward or reverse LIVE TV

Everything was fine for a long time. Now suddenly the small XiD-P box can no longer pause/stop, forward or reverse LIVE TV (it is still working on recordings or OnDemand).

The error states: This set-top box doesn't support it.

It was working fine for years.

The main DVR box still works fine. Alread tried multiple power cycles of DVR and XiD-P no help, tried switching to different channels and that didn't help either.
Think this started to happen 1 to 2 days ago.

@Barbara_2023 Thank you for reaching out on the Xfinity Community Forums. The equipment you are asking about should still be able to handle those functions. It looks like you have completed troubleshooting, which we greatly appreciate you letting us know. It is possible the box has become defective and would need to be swapped out. You are welcome to switch it out at the local store.

@XfinityJanelle​ Thanks for confirming that it is a hardware issue. The nearest Xfinity store is about 1 hour away according to your store finding website. Are there any other options available ?
