Today I am getting this same message. We got a new box a few weeks ago. Before today, the rewind feature has always worked. I powered off the TV and powered it back on just now, and that message still displays when I try to rewind.

@Likoster22 Thank you so much for letting us know you are getting this error. Have you tried a system refresh through the box or completing the basic troubleshooting steps at https://comca.st/3JFGWkI or https://comca.st/3LQVC2m;

Rewind/pause stopped working on my old box this week.  Drove down to the Xfinity store and got a brand new Xfinity box, still in plastic wrap.  Took it out, set it up and now get "instant replay card removed" when I try to rewind/pause.  How can I fix this or do I need to go back to the store?

Try rebooting your box by unplugging it from the electrical outlet for 60 seconds then plugging it back in. Allow the box to reboot. If the error message still persists, you will need to swap out your box for another one. Sorry for this inconvenience. If you do need to swap out your box, you can either do it at the Xfinity store, or I can mail one to you and you and then you would mail the one you have now back to us, or drop it off at the UPS store or Xfinity store. If you would like me to mail you one, please send me a Direct Message with your full name and address. You can send me a direct message by clicking on the "chat" icon in the upper right, next click the pen/pad icon, and lastly Xfinity Support.

I am getting the following error when trying to Forward/rewind/pause: "Something's not quite right. Only an instant replay memory card will work here. Please remove the incompatible SD card and re-insert the card that came with your set-top box."

This is [Edited: Personal Information]. I have the same message on my TV. Called Comcast Xfinity three months ago and they were to send me a new remote. Please welcome the remote never came. I have tried unplugging the TV from the wall and reset the box many times. I have been paying for this service for months now without being able to use it on my TV. I need to know next steps.
