Slow Channel Change

This is not a problem that just started. And resetting the X1 boxes will not do any good at all.  This has been going on for years. Raising therates and not getting anything more for service is sad! Looks like when my contract is up, this will be my last hoorah for Xfinity. When you call te

Changing input with XR11 remote

I'm new to cable and Xfinity!  It has been a good experience thus far. I use my tv as a mirror monitor for my MacBook Pro so I could eliminate the tv remote altogether if I could "move" from hdmi1 to hdmi4 with XR11.  I think this should be possible since the remote turns the tv on and off.   Thanks

Oh no, @user_166159! Sorry to hear that the remote is being laggy and causing frustration!     Since you have already changed the batteries and reset the X1, another thing to check would be if anything might be blocking the transmission

Xfinity TV Remote Not Working

The Xfinity TV Remote App on Apple has stopped working. As a long time customer of Xfinity it’s very disappointing that a very easy to use app is no longer available to use. Accessing the Xfinity Stream app takes more time and is cumbersome. Please bring back the Xfinity Remote App back.
