Direct TV remote not changing the channel

Direct TV remote turns on and off the tv and adjusts volume, but won't change the channel. I've turned it off and restarted it and refreshed it, but no change. There is a little yellow light to the right of the Blue Direct TV logo. Any idea how to fix it so the remote changes channels?

Nevermind. Finally got Technical support on the line. Very easy fix, not sure why it's not readily available online. The answer is to simultaneously press Mute and the Enter key (to the right of the 9) until it flashes OK on the screen. Then press OK with the select button, and it's all back to normal.
