Apple TV Remote No longer Turn on TV

Previously (before ios12 or Sep 2018) my Apple TV 4k remote control will turn on my Samsung TV, suddenly it stopped working, can't seem to make it work again. The only thing changed I believed is the update of ios on AppleTV. Any help is appreciated. Thank!

Apple TV 4K, iOS 12

Found the issue. I do not know the actual reason but our cable guy unplugged the power to the TV (not just turn it off using remote), and the AppleTV remote is working now - he mentioned something like "HDMI handshake problem".
