Re: remote doesn't turn off/on TV
Hello,
I have the same issue. I'm able to program the XR15 remote to my LG TV with no problem. It will turn on and off and control the volume. Then, I program the remote to my Sony soundbar. It programs to thee soundbar with no problems. However, once I program the remote to thee soundbar, it will no longer work to turn the TV on or off.
The weird thing is that the remote will still let me choose different inputs on the TV when I press the "TV Input" button. That makes me think that it is programmed to the TV and is able to partially control it. But, for some reason it will not turn the TV on or off after I program it to the soundbar.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issue with my TCL tv and vizio sound bar. The exact same issue.

@ComcastRayana I'm having the same issue with a Samsung TV and a Pioneer receiver. Your solution did not work (volume control stops working on the receiver and defaults back to controlling the TV sound). I am unable to private message you because there is no notepad icon.

My Xfinity box failed yesterday and had it replaced today. With the old box/remote and the same TV and Soundbar it worked fine controlling both other devices perfectly. Now with the new box/remote I'm having the same issue as stated here using the same TV and Soundbar that worked fine before, so Xfinity guys its definitely a bug introduced by new hardware/software.
A little further information to what has been provided above, after pairing both TV and Soundbar, the TV power button on the Xfinity remote no longer turns the TV on or off, but turns the Soundbar on and off. The All power button does the same thing only turning the Sounbar on and off.

Well I just solved this for my case anyway. I have a new LG TV and an old Bose Soundbar. Using the primary codes for both of these devices or going through the on screen menu which does the same thing, one overrides the other as described. So I used the primary code for the LG TV and then tried paring the Bose using alternate codes. At the 5th alternate code, voila, it works as expected. Note that I was not using the on screen menu system, but using the setup button on the XR11 remote to manually enter codes. This is the link for figuring out the manual codes for remotes and devices: https://www.xfinity.com/support/remotes/

I own a Samsung. I'm having problems turning off my Samsung soundbar which is directly connected to my Samsung TV. I've tried the pairing up and skipping method Xfinity offers but I get the same results. Can you help?
