Hey @user_f8406d,

 

Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Community Forums support page. We would be more than happy to assist with the 'Setting up a Recording with the Xfinity TV Remote App'.

 

In order to take advantage of this feature, you would need to subscribe to our DVR service. The function will show for everyone, but only record if you subscribe to our DVR service. 

 

Do you subscribe to the DVR service and are you receiving any error code or message? Would you also be able to attempt and use our Xfinity Stream application to see if you can schedule a recording using the other application? Instructions can be found by visiting our 'Set Up a DVR Recording with the Xfinity Stream App' support page.

yes I have the service. I have the Motorola RNG200N box I use to be able to record from the app until Nov. of 2021. I can record from the streaming app but I want the shows to record on my cable box.

When you use the Xfinity Stream application to record, it saves the recordings locally on the physical DVR. If you are able to successfully use the Xfinity Stream application to schedule recordings, we recommend using that application for future recordings.

That shouldn't happen as you do not have a Cloud DVR model set-top box. If you are unable to use the Xfinity Stream application to process recordings, you will need to use the physical set-top box to schedule recordings or swap the set-top box for an X1 Cloud DVR model set-top box for local/cloud video recording. 

 

If you would like one shipped, we can go over any possible charges for swapping out the device if you are unable to visit a local Xfinity Store for swap.
