Smart Resume no longer functioning correctly...

​The last two months or so... Smart Resume on the DVR has become extremely inaccurate. It is missing commercials by a minute or more. ​

​This was one of the greatest features they ever added to Xfinity and now it is useless. ​

​On multiple channels too, CBS, FOX, NBC, Discovery, and more. ​

​Anybody else?​

​I have already exchanged boxes, rebooted, refreshed, and so forth. So please don't respond with that as a solution. If I exchange one more cable box or have one more tech visit I will set a world record. ​

Definitely an issue, is worst on Bravo. Think there's probably a "hidden economy" where networks are paying Comcast to force the ads on us, just as so many of the streaming services are creating "ULTRA" subscription levels to gouge us for getting the truly-ad-free experience that was the "base expectation" previously.

@user_85e9bf​  You're 100% right about this. I dropped my TiVo to go to X1 because it would play an ad before every recorded show I wanted to watch. Guess the same "feature" is happening on the Xfinity platform now!

I'm having problems with smart resume, also. It either restarts the program before the commercials end, or doesn't even mark the commercials.

Having the same issue, started this past week. Smart resume is no where correctly in proportion to the commercials. Very frustrating!!!

This seems to be a issue for a lot of people. Smart Resume is controlled in the X1 Cloud, which means Xfinity will need to fix it on their end.

@bbaker101​ None that I've seen. And this has been going on for at least 2 months.

Hello @bbaker101 we apologize for any issues you've encountered as well with Smart Resume. Are you also encountering the "20 second" lag or encountering another issue?

Have been experiencing this for at least six months. Is there any solution on the horizon at all?

Hey there, @MetalCPA. I am still seeing an open ticket from our engineering team regarding a Smart Resume calibration. The workaround that should temporarily resolve the issue is to toggle Smart Resume off and back on. To do so you would need to select the Xfinity button on the remote and navigate to the Settings Menu -> Preferences -> General -> Smart Resume Off/On.

Worked the first week I had the X1 platform, now I'm back to using it like a VCR. 😂
