SMART RESUME STILL NOT WORKING

Smart Resume stops 30secs short of the recorded program, leaving you to watch 2 more commercials. Fast forwarding thru the 30 seconds doesn’t work unless you watch 10secs of the commercial first.

I keep asking myself why do I pay so much for a service that has issues .

streaming will fix my frustration.

I mainly watch recorded programs on NBC or CBS. By touting the "smart resume" feature, Xfinity induced me to sign up for X1 service. Like previous posts, I can attest that "Start Resume" is deficient, landing in a commercial, short of picking up the program.

I have also tried every fix mentioned in this forum to no avail. 

Xfinity Support,  please display the direct message icon on my sign in screen so that I can request my account be added to those who are waiting for the promised Xfinity software fix in 2024.

Hundreds, if not, thousands of Xfinity customers have been complaining about this issue for well over a year and  seems to be getting done [Edited: "Inflammatory"] about it!  If Xfinity really wanted to fix this, they could with just a couple of lines of code that a bright high school student could probably write! 

If Xfinity is really serious about fixing this, then have the software engineer who is working on the problem get on this forum and explain why this doesn't work and what's being done to fix it!  I'm not holding my breath waiting for that to happen :~(

You are correct. The "smart resume" stops short to permit NBC commercials or advertising about new NBC shows. Since Comcast owns NBC, It is not in Comcast's financial interest to fix the software.

user_hoiij0, Thank you for reaching out to Xfinity Support. The Smart Resume is not always available for all channels. If you have it available and it is coming up short, just hit the page-up button on your remote once and it should get you to the right spot. If you still have trouble, we would be happy to help.
