How are we, as Comcast customers, suppose to get these adaptors ( besides E-bay) if our market center doesn't have any? They have no xi3 boxes, no dta eyes,and my smart phone doesn't support the x1 remote app. I called in to 1800 comcast, and they can't give me any. How do we hide the boxes?
You can do what I did along with many other members of this forum and that is forget about looking to Comcast for a solution on this and look at 3rd party remote solutions. The only time I ever use the Comcast remotes is when I am helping other people troubleshoot problems. Otherwise I never touch them. I have a nice assortment of Harmony and URC remotes around the house and they all have RF support or options for RF support. They are MUCH better remotes than the Comcast remotes and have vastly more capabilities.

Why shouldn't we look to Comcast? it's their equipment, they launched it with no eyes for the ir extender port, they should suppy the xr8 if they want our business. And they have no problem taking my $$$ every month!

Doug, yes of course. I just looked up your account and in doing so noticed one of your boxes (called Master Bed) is having some pretty serious RF signal issues. Can I help get a tech visit scheduled for you to resolve these issues? Thanks!
Yep! Shipping Monday.
Neal i would like have one XR8 Adaptors ship to me as well thank you
Neal, if I could have two XR8 adaptors sent to me as well that would be great. Thanks in advance!

Thank you ComcastNeal for your prompt reply. Very good service!!!!
Comcast Neal - could I request an XR8 adaptor as well? Just one.
Hi Comcast Neal,
Can I also request these XR8 adapters for the boxes as well? Thank you
So we just have to ask? I have two companion boxes....can I please get two XR8's then?
I would like to request 3 XR8 adaptors. Thank you in advance.
Hi Neal!
I just called Comcast to order 2 XR8s and was told they are no longer available as the current version has been recalled and new ones wont come out for a couple of months. What am I missing?
Can you ship me 2, please?
Can I request an XR8 for the companion box I have? Thanks in advance, ComcastNeal....
Neal,
I have 5 companion boxes. Can I get 5 XR8 adapters, please?
Thank you!
could I get one please?
I would very much appreciate getting at least one XR8.....although I have four total settop boxes (3 X1 and 1X1DVR. One is in a cabinet so I desperately need the RF functionailty to work as Comcast has adveristed.
Seeking a solution for that problem led me (after about 3 hours of looking all over the Comcast universe) to this forum and this discussion.
I trust this forum is being monitored by Comcast and the aforementioned Neal, or someone, will help me get the device.
Contact me by email, if necessary, I can provide any additional information.
Thank you (and I promise to say nothing libellous about Comcast for at least 90 days if this works.)
