X1 Technical Issues

 I've had the X1 Platform since July and there seems to be a major technical issue every month. The system is slugish, and I don't believe it's worth the money. My system has not worked since Friday and a service technician will not be available until Monday afternoon. Error code is RDK-03004. The troubleshooting procedures are not effective.

ok reboot complete normal time to get live. same delay. Server issues locally? nationally? 

3rd day in a row same problem no error msg but X1 is lagged 5 to 10 minutes in processing keystrokes like fast forward (watching a lot of dvr today). I'm rebooting now but that has not fixed it before. normally starts some 8 hours from now this is first middle of the day occurrance. again, no error messages.

Which error message ?

ok now that is weird. can't get it to notice (blue led lights when pressing remote) keypresses but the app xFinity TV Remote allows me to 'restart' (from beginning) by dvr manager>recordings>play on tv. the Xfinity X1 remote app works. ok battery was 80%

same 147 version same firmware (rf linked)

ok wierder. did the setup (red changes to green>987 and it switched back to IR. now control works. any attempt to repair brings up the 'help' screen like i pressed 'A" and the press of "xFinity" button to start pairing brings up menu instead.

what the??

That is weird.  I sent an XRE refresh signal for you.

After you re-pair your remote with RF, go ahead and powercycle the box.  This has worked for me in the past

got it to re-pair by hitting exit on the X1 Remote App after the setup power changed from red to green and help screen came up. pressing xfinity on the remote brought up the pairing. 

so issue now is .. why did the X1 ignore paired commands as if I had the wrong control, and then why did the process of pairing (setup press until red all-power changes to green) 'press' the A button blocking re-pairing process?

Hope to get a Comcast Tech response here...I've had this X-1 system installed for 2 weeks...main DVR plus three remote set top boxes.

During the first week, the three set top boxes froze/stopped working 6 times, requiring a un-plug re-boot 5 times and a call to Comcast to send a reset signal once. Discovered that if the set top boxes are manually turned off (press the green lighted button on the right of the box) after use...no more freeze up issues. I suspect that if the set top boxes are left on all the time, as they are apparently intended to be, they will overheat and cause the freeze up issue.

Now I'm having a similar issue with the main X-1 DVR...froze up twice in the past week, both times fixed by a un-plug hard re-boot. I could start turning the main DVR off after use as well, however...it's my understanding that if the main DVR is turned off, it will not turn itself back on when a scheduled recording comes up. Is this a common problem? Any suggestions?

Same problem here - powercycling the DVR's seem to have helped.
