remote for pc

Is there a way to get an xfinity remote to work with pc tv watching? I'd like to be able to lay in bed and use my remote to fast-forward through my taped-shows commercials.

Hello, @Vorticon. Watching TV from bed is the best way for me to catch up on my favorite shows. Are you attempting to use an Xfinity remote with the Xfinity Stream app?

That's what I'd like to do, but don't know if it's available to do that. Or what exactly to do to use the remote for computer tv watching. I would think it would be available. I had a computer some 20 years ago where a remote was available, along with a usb plugin signal for it. I would think there'd be some way to do it now.

Not sure what you are referring to (remote app)......do you mean an app on my Xfinity TV Remote? Otherwise, I don't have any phone that uses apps. I have only a landline phone. If you are referring to my Xfinity TV Remote, what process do I go through with it to use it watching xfinity tv on my pc?

We have an app called xfinity remote that allows you to control your cable boxes via xfinity remote app on your mobile device, we don’t have a remote that can control a pc , our remotes are for our customer who have tv service or our flex service which can control your cable box, tv & your audio equipment. If you wanted to watch your tv services on your pc you could go to xfinity.com and sign in and go tv streaming, now if you have a smart tv that’s compatible to download our xfinity streaming app you can stream you cable services via our app on your smart tv, which is what we do in our home as we have 2 LG smart tv and we watch our cable services via the xfinity app and control the app via our LG remotes
