My release version is the same:  112.0.2, time stamp 04/09/20 3:32 pm, XRE Protocol Version 2.8.0.  Are the reminders not working an issue with some "update" they did??  I got this box last summer, so why is the release time stamp changed?  Sorry, not very technically updated so I have to ask silly questions.  I'd hate to get another box; do they charge to deliver a new one??  Help, would hate to have to write down my reminders each day!!!

ComcastTed, been having same issue for a few weeks.  My tv box info:

Release version:  112.0.2

Release time stamp: 04/09/20; 3:32 pm

XRE Protocol Version: 2.8.0

Receiver: Native version: 4.0.0

STB Timestamp: Thu 13 Feb 2020 12:05:28 AM UTC

 

Some shows I have scheduled for recurring reminders:

Sunday, April 19

12:25 a:  Friends

12:55 a:  Friends

10:59 p:  Seinfeld

Monday, April 20

5:55 p:  All In The Family

10:59 p:  Seinfeld

11:59 p:  *** In The City  (sorry, told it was a "bad word")

Tuesday, April 21

9:59 a:  Bewitched

10:29 a:  Bewitched

5:55 p:  Little People, Big World

 

I also tried to fix things by deleting all reminders, doing a System Restart, System Refresh and then readding the reminders....worked for one show one time, then nothing.  HELP!!  I would hate to get a new box, again....thank you.

@Panther-17
If you read @ComcastTeds reply, this was at the bottom. Check back in a few weeks, it will be awhile before a fix is implemented

Marking this post as Best Answer for now , will update as more information and timing for the fix becomes available.

The Xfinity technical team are working on a fix. Concerning your release version you should expect monthly updates since Xfinity pushes that automatically to your boxes.

I'm adding my problem here too.

I only have two reminders, but they aren't reminding.

1) Sunday Morning Show, channel 4, Sundays 8am

2) Rachel Maddow, MSNBC, Every night at 7pm

Hi ComcastTeds,
As I indicated previously I greatly appreciate Xfinity team working on a solution but hope you can reprioritize restoring this feature since it is almost always resulting in the reminders not working and treat the number of reporters here as a sample of a larger systemic problem.

Same problem with reminders for about 3 weeks. Time, channel, program....doesn't matter.

Started about 10-12 days ago with single reminders not working, now has devolved into series weekly reminders not working. Lame. A box reset did nothing. This is not a box issue, this is. Comcast programming glitch.

saw a post where you wanted examples:

1)   The reminders show up in the guide, so you can see them.

2)  Restarted the Box

3)  Toggled on/off the notification under settings preferrences.

4   Below is an example on a Monday setup

Show:  911 on 103 KAYUD   (no changes to this schedule in months).

Reminder Options below.

Reminder time:  ON TIME

DISPLAY ON ALL TV's

Episode Type:  NEW EPISODES ONLY

Channel:  HD Preferred.

 

Do not have a large amount of reminders (3 a day).

Stopped working within the last 2 weeks.   Not random, No popups at all.

Only 1 box at home.

Have restarted the Box

Have toggled the Notification on/off just to see if it works.
