XR11 remote wont pair with the XG1v4-a set top box

Pressed setup until light is green.  Pressed Xfinity.  Got 3-digit code.  BUT the remote XR11 will NOT enter the code numbers.

Thank you for reaching out. Did this remove work with this box previously? @Vican75

Yes it XR11 orked fine with the old box and it also still controls the TV.  Is it possible that the new box will not accept more than one set of remotes.  In other words, the new buttons are poorly designed ( too small buttons) so we wanted to go back to the old XR11 remote.  Will it not take both sets?

I so, how to upair the new ones and go back to XR11?

Try to Factory reset the remote you don't wish to use, then pair the one you do Vican75. This will walk you through how to do that https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/programming-your-xfinity-remote.

That link goes to a 404.  Can you answer the question about 2 remotes?

Vican75 The box should allow multiple remotes to be paired with it at one time. It's just best to factory reset the one you don't wish to use, so it won't affect the use of the XR11 at any point. You can leave both paired though if you like.
