For me it was an issue of the remote no longer connecting with the box, I suspect due to the recent update.


So far, I’ve solved it by re-pairing the remote with the box. I just tried this fix this morning, so time will tell if it’s a long-term solution.


Hold your remote within a few inches of the box, then simultaneously press the back (<) and volume up buttons for several seconds. For me, that has solved it, for now…
