Not able to change channels only works if x1 box is restarted

Hi cws1, I understand how frustrating it can be when your X1 box isn't changing channels properly. It's really important to be able to easily navigate through your favorite shows, and I can only imagine how disappointing it is when you have to restart the box just to switch channels.

Let's try a few things to see if we can get this sorted out. First, I'd recommend checking the basics.

  • Make sure your remote has fresh batteries.
  • Try re-pairing your remote to the X1 box. You can usually find instructions for this in the remote's manual or within the X1 box's on-screen menus.
  • If you have another X1 remote, try using that to see if it makes a difference.

Next, let's try a few things with the X1 box itself.

  • Restart the X1 box: Unplug the power cord, wait about 30 seconds, then plug it back in.
  • Check for software updates: The X1 box usually updates automatically, but you can sometimes initiate a manual update through the on-screen menus.
  • Power cycle your equipment: Unplug both the X1 box and your TV, wait a full minute, then plug the X1 box back in first, followed by your TV.

If these steps don't resolve the issue, please send me a direct message with your full name and address so I can take a closer look at things with you.
