Timing of smart resume on dvr recordings off

Tired of my smart resume not working correctly.  Have had issues with breaks not showing up at all and even more annoying is that when it resumes I still have to watch 1 1/2 more commercials before the show actually starts.  Comcast just had me swap out my box and did absolutely nothing to help.

Hi there  @

user_9da25b I want to make sure I understand the issue correctly. Would you saw you're returned to the show about 30-ish seconds in? We do have an issue with smart resume that we are aware of and working to resolve but i want to make sure that this is under that behavior and not something different.

I am having the same issue with commercial timings being off and also sometimes cuts off end of program. Have chatted with support, refreshed system a couple of times and also replaced DVR box and still have problem. I have also tried toggling fast forward off and on as saw comments in blog that it sometimes helped but still have problem. From some of the blogs I have been reading this problem has been going on for over a year with nobody salving it. what does it take to correct this issue short of going  to a new service provider.

Does anyone from Comcast ever monitor these blogs? This problem is on multiple blog posts over the last year and a half. All of them have been closed with no resolution. Are you ever going to look into solving this problem or do we need to find a new supplier to get help? Your on lin chat support is useless. It just sends you in circles and you never can get to speak with a person.

@XfinityBrianW​ Commercial breaks on recorded shows are off. If you fast forward to end of commercial and when it stops commercial is still going. Also sometimes cuts off end of recorded program. I have seen on numerous blogs that this has been an issue for over a year. Mine just started a little over a month ago. I have refreshed the system a couple of times and also replaced the box once. Same issues.

Smart resume also has not been working for me for a number of months. When will this issue be fixed? Based on answers in this thread and other similar ones the issue has been happening for almost a year.
