X1 Technical Issues

I switched to X1 back in May and have had several issues ever since. I have several shows recording daily. I have no issues with them being available on my DVR, but when I try to watch online some don't show up. I had a series recording set, and it was on my DVR, but when I went to watch on xtv.comcast.net some shows aren't there. I spoke with 10-12 different people. Nobody seems to know what the issue is. The first time I did a chat with a tech I was told "I will have this resolved for you". Yea, well that never happened. They put a ticket in to have someone call me back. I get a call the next day and was asked what was going on. Then I was told it wasn't just me, and it was affecting other customers. It seemed OK for a couple weeks. Then it started again. Every time I speak with someone they say it will be resolved, yet it hasn't. None of them seem to have an answer. Now I have to have a tech come out, which will most likely end up costing me money. So when I had them schedule an appointment the tech apparently "had to send a signal to my cable box in order to schedule an appointment". A few minutes after haning up I started having cable issues now. I got an error code RDK-03007, and when it comes back up it tells me the channel I have on is only available with a subscription. So, I call in for an appointment and end up with more issues than when I started. What a mess...

your home equipment has nothing to do with obtaining your cloud recordings at xtv.comcast..

The comcast network handles making that cloud copy of the programs. Even if your power is temporarily off the cloud recordings will be made. 

If the cloud recordings are not there and non one deleted them you can list a couple of the 'assets' as comcast calls them, with date, channel, name of show, time of show. With that information the red-letter comcast ppl can look into your logs and determine the issue. Do remember that in progress recordings may not be available on the cloud DVR until the recording has finished.

Companion box blue light blinking 3 times. What does that mean?

Hopefully someone can help me out.
my video settings are 16:9 and all live shows look as expected. However, most shows I record are 4:3 or movies in some strange format where is widescreen but only takes up a small portion of the actual viewing area.

Any my idea why Dvr isn't taking in 16:9 for ALL recordings???


thx.

Minor problem:

A nightly news show is series recorded and watched daily on X1 dvr . Normally, I go to Xfinity > Saved > Recordings and watch after and/or during the recording. Occasionally, when I choose the recording,  I get an "episodes"  instead of "watch" option. I choose "Episodes".  On 8/25/15, the first episode listing is the 8/24 episode. The current show is 2nd and when selected, I get an "Options" option. When selected,  I get the "Just this episode" option which I select. Only then is the "watch" option offered. 

It appears that some flag is not set making X1 think the recording doesn't currently exist.

I haven't seen that since many versions ago. The way I work around it is to use the xfinity TV Remote and select the recording there and select watch on TV.

hi, another customer here. Do you have streaming services (on a smart phone with an app or via web page http://xtv.comcast.net ? If so can you tune to that channel while in home on a computer or smart phone/tablet and see if you can get the channel that way?

Are you talking about the app vs my XR5 remote?

@Rustyben the Xfinity to go app does not have that channel available, not listed probably because it's a local channel? I'll try the link you gave me and let you know what happens. If it does, what does that mean & what could be causing it? Thanks for your help is appreciated.

the xfinity TV app streams directly from comcast bypassing home (good test if you are in home and have at least cloud streaming).

@Rustyben WBZ (HD or SD) is available on Xfinity To Go. I don't know what else to do. Comcast had tried deactivating my box and reactivating it to no avail including sending refresh signals still nothing. Any other ideas? Thanks.

ok not talking about the xfinity 'TV Go" app. There is a separate xfinity TV app for streaming in home. Did you get that app up and running? check the same channel number that you tune to on the TV using that app?
