IR Remote
I want to convert two of my cable boxes to respond to IR remote controls (so I can use universal remotes). The two are an Xfinity XG1-A and an Xfinity PXD01ANI. They’re several years old. Neither box has the option to “Enable IR” in the Remote Settings menu. The questions are:
Can I enable IR remote control on these boxes? If so, how? If not, do I need to trade in these boxes for newer ones that can have IR remote control enabled?
What’s the best IR extender to use with these or replacement boxes?

Hey there BillD242. When it comes to Universal Remotes, we advise customers to review the models as they will say what companies they are compatible with. Due to the number of increasing manufacturers of universal remote controls, we can no longer maintain a list of capable approved devices. We suggest that you review the remote’s specifications and capabilities prior to purchasing the device. Always refer to the remote manufacturer’s website for additional information.
