Can I pair multiple remotes with XG1v4-A?

I have a new Sofabaton X1S universal remote that I would like to use with my Xfinity box. Is it possible to do this without unpairing the Xfinity remote that I already have? I'd like both to be functional.

@user_noryq9  Does the X1S do RF?  That's what the Xfinity uses when its remotes pair to its X1 boxes.  My XG1v4s will react to an IR Harmony remote while still paired to the Xfinity remote.  But, I have found using IR with the Xfinity XG1v4 to be slow and inconsistent, no matter how i adjusted it.  So, I gave up and use the Xfinity remote instead.  Maybe you'll have better luck using IR with Sofabaton.

I am unaware of being able to pair a non-Xfinity remote to the box.  However, I do know you can pair multiple Xfinity remotes to the same box. I have two remotes on my XG1v4.

I've done that, too.  Looks like the OP wants to keep their Xfinity remote paired and add a Sofabaton.  Their website says Sofabaton only does IR with Xfinity.  So, that should work, altho as I noted above I've found IR to be less than stellar with many Xfinity functions.
