That's great. Pay more get less. If I was able to select another provider, I would and I will never recommend Comcast.

That link doesn't work for me. It continuously times out.

Hello All,
I wanted to provide an update. The Advanced Techs have confirmed, the issues of the widget app that have been reported for weather is currently unavailable as Comcast has decided to remove said features. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Okay, after reading your post again, @ComcastChe, I am confused... Is the old Weather App gone due to "issues of the widget app that have been reported"? I never had any problems with the previous version. If it's something having to do with the "upgraded" version, why not go back to the previous, better version?

Okay... What does the refresh reload from the servers? And, if I have a DVR box in one room and a satellite box in another room, do both boxes reload? Or, does the command only reload the box that initiates the refresh command?
Sorry to be so dense...

I'm sure this has been suggested elsewhere, but let me throw it out here and now:
If they truly value the "customer experience", then Comcast needs to create a Consumer Panel that among other things, would review proposed changes - like those made to the Weather App - before they go live. Additionally, they should create a voluntary Wide Area Beta Program like those in place with entities like Microsoft and Apple.
That's it.

I agree with lryranger1 ... Taking away the ability to have multiple cities is a bummer! I have family all over the place and it was easy to go to the Weather App to see what their weather was. My own weather? Either I'll look outside or use my own weather station!!

Yes, I know that the "hacks" change settings on the set-top box and not the remote.
As to the top secret nature of X1, I was not thinking that a Comcast employee would respond; that would be too much to hope for. I was, however, kind of hoping that someone had compiled a list of things that can be modified thru the <exit> <exit> <exit> sequence.

Nope. FYI, in most cases the "hacks" you are talking about have nothing to do with the remote. They change settings on the box. Also, this is Comcast we are talking about here. Everything about X1 is "top secret".

I wonder if the Legacy system has the same restriction. That would indicate a possible link to TiVo.
If by the "Legacy system", you mean the old Motorola hardware... then, yes, that hardware had the ability to record the buffer back to the program start time. My wife & I used to use that feature quite a bit. It is yet another lost feature since we have 'upgraded' to X1. There is certainly a lot that we like, and we are adjusting to life with X1. That said, some of the lost things - like this one - we really don't like.

The external drive would need to be connected via an e-SATA cable and the external drive needs to be at 1 TB or less for your area. As luck would have it, I have a couple of external hard drives - both under 1 TB - but they connect via USB. Is there a way to convert from USB to e-SATA?

I just found out about these forums tonight; wish I had thought to look for "Community Forums" sooner. I find it truly distressing that there has been a DVR Expander available for Motorola-branded DVRs for 2-1/2 years. The reps at my local walk-in Customer Service Office apparently knew NOTHING about it! I had commented more than once over the past few years about just how much it sucked to have all this great HD programming, but not be able to keep more than a few hours of HD programming. Over the years, said reps would tell me just how many of their customers had made similar comments. Sadly, I can't even go there tomorrow and shove a printout of the start of this thread onto the counter, as Comcast closed that office six months ago. (And, that's a WHOLE OTHER story... I need to look around and see if there's an appropriate place to post that thread.) Anyway, my questions are these: Is this a feature that is available here (the Eastern Panhandle of WV)? If so, where do I go to find the external drive? (The link in post #1 brings up a blank WD page with "Home > External Storage > DVR Expander Overview > My Book AV 1 TB Comcast" at the top of the page.) Do I need to buy one from WD, or can I use one that I may find on Amazon or eBay? Thanks!
