My Xfinity remote keeps dying

I have only had Xfinity for 3 months now and I have noticed the last 2 months my remote keeps killing batteries within a few days. I have tried Duracell batteries regular and rechargeable ones and nothing is helping. There are no buttons stuck on the remote. This is really an issue because I’m tired of spending money on batteries. At this point I may just go back to AT&T because I never know when my remote is not going to turn the tv on. It’s truly annoying and inconvenient.

I would be happy to help you with getting some replacement remotes to see if that helps to resolve the concern with batteries. I completely understand not wanting to have to constantly buy new batteries. I've got three kids and it feels like we go through them in my house like crazy!
