Are you using the Comcast remote when you have the problem? What happens when you use the tv's remote? I always use my Samsung television's apps for IPV viewing for higher resolution programs: 2160p, 1440p, 0r 1080p. Leaving the box set at 1080p might be best for any programing watched through Comcast. No reason to set box higher until you find 4K to watch sometime in the future. No I use my Harmony Elite remote. Everything I have is running through my receiver. I’ve not used the Comcast remote but I’m very sure it has. I thing to do with the on screen display on the tv, it appears beaded upon me changing the video setting did the cable box that it’s just a resolution conflict. That’s what I was asking is if there is any reason to keep the 2160p60 on the cable box if there’s no programming available via comcast. I believe only Netflix is capable but I use my Sony 900F smart tv features for streaming Netflix and don’t use the Comcast box.

When will be be able to get/use a 4k companion box? I don't want to pay $19.95 per box for getting a main dvr 4k to my other three tv's.
I've tested (not scienctific) but clearly the 4k main dvr boxes are superior at the image quality than the mini companion HD boxes.

I am having an issue that when I change the volume on my receiver its supposed to display the volume on the tv screen. When I have it set to 2160p60 is will not dipslay the on screen display from the receiver. However when I set it to 2160p30 it will display the on screen display.
Is there anything being output in 2160p60 that I should keep my Xfinity box at that setting? If I'm thinking correctly the only reason to have that 2160p60 is for streaming Netflix. If this is correct then I can keep the x1 box at 2160p30 and no reduction in resolution.
I don't use the x1 box to stream Neflix anyway so its not a big deal.

Not sure if you read my posts but my TVs have been calibrated by a ISF trained tech. The HDMI cables are fine and they are high speed.

Each tv has been calibrated by ISF, so each tv is properly setup.

Each box whether it is 4K or just 1080p, are all set to the highest video output for each tv.
Yes, each of my tvs are all 4K tv’s with HDR and one is a Dolby Vision/HDR.
My question is whether the boxes should differ in terms of the quality of a regular 1080p program from the different boxes. I’m not talking about 4K material which on Comcast ones is only available on Netflix. I’m just asking about the same program on basically the same tvs, shouldn’t they look very similar?
Also, you mention thr 4k box which is a main DVR costing $10 more per month. Is the in addition to the $9.95 I’m already paying for each box? I was considering taking my small companion boxes in and trading them for the 4K box because they are clearly better sending a better signal than the companion boxes.

Yes they are both HD boxes connected via HDMI. Settings was set the the highest possible resolution on each box. I’m very knowledgeable about these things I just didn’t think there would be a dramatic difference.
Im watching a HD channel now on the 4K box and it is also much more crisp than the companion box. Blacks are better and the depth of the images are more realistic.

I have three Xinfinty boxes in the house. On one 65” Sony 850e tv I have the 4K DVR Comcast box. On the other master bedroom tv I have a 50” Sony 900e tv with the small companion box.
I just purchased a 75” Sony 900F tv and had Comcast gave me a small companion. Once connected to the tv the equality was not anywhere as good as it is on the 4K Comcast DVR box. The colors were saturated and just looked a mess.
I swapped the companion box on the 65” tv to the 75” tv and the Comcast 4K box looks way better than the companion box.
Should we be able to see a considerable amount of different in video quality between these to boxes?
The reason I ask is my Sony tv’s do a very good job at upscaling to 4K and if the signal/video quality is pretty much the same, then why would I see that much of a difference?
Im considering getting 4K boxes for all rooms now.

I don't use the voice remote nor do I feel like using this feature. It's just something that bothers me to say or hear someone saying commands when your relaxing. I have a very nice programmable remote that does me perfectly. And like most all other remotes on the market all have a dedicated DVR button. Even Comcast had the dedicated DVR button before the X1 boxes and before the voice remote. I'm sure I'm not the only one that doesn't like to use my voice to control things. It can be very aggravating to say the least. Next thing you know I'm cussing at my cable box. LOL Oh and thanks for the heads up in the new companion box. I'll go get one today.

Please for the love of babies please allow us to: 1) Direct access to the DVR recordings instead of hitting a common button that we have to scroll over to the recorded tv. This used to be a feature on every box up until the mighty X1 box came here. Very sad! 2) Please add the ability to pause Live TV on the companion boxes.

I really wish there was direct access to MyDVR recordings instead of scrolling through the menus. What I find interesting is that on the Xfinity X1 app for the iPhone, you can go directly to your recordings. Wonder if there's a way to capture that IR code and import it to my Harmony Ultimates?

Jacksonville, Florida Here we have: HBO HD - 416 HBO 2 HD - 480 HBO Zone - 481 HBOLHD - 482 HBOSH - 483 SHOHD - 418 SHO2D - 490 STZHD - 419 SZCHD - 495 SZKHD - 496 SZEHD - 497 MAXHD - 417 CNN - 423 (CNN News) TLC - 425 APHD - 426 SyfyD - 427 FNC - 428 (Fox News) SCIHD - 446 (Science) ESPND - 402 (Espn HD ES2HD - 404 (Espn 2) ESWHD - 449 (Espn News) H2 HD - 388 (History 2) HISHD - 422 I can post numerous more but that's just a very small sample of how out of whack the channel lineup is. Shouldn't simple things like History & History 2 should be grouped together with other similar channels like Biography and TLC, Science...to me it just makes sense. As noted above look at how CNN and FOX news is layed out...it just doesn't make sense, shouldn't they along with Bloomberg, MSNBC and other be grouped together? Notice how HBOHD is at 416 and the rest of the HBO's are at 480 and above, weird. StarzHD at 419 and the rest of the Starz lineup is at 495 and above, dumb. Granted there are some that are grouped together that make sense like our local major network channels like CBS, NBC and ABC, but when you've got The Food Channel about 30 channels away from the Cooking Channel, I don't understand the thought process. Trust me I'll be fine with the way they are because I use FAVORITES on my universal remote a lot. Hopefully this post gets looked at by someone at Comcast and they go what in the world was someone thinking. Thanks!

Oh, and one that I find very odd is that Comcast has their channels COMPLETELY out of any kind of order. Take for instance all of the HBO's shoud be grouped together, all of the Local broadcast stations should be together like CBS, ABC, NBC, etc. All of the Cinemax's should be grouped together, HGTV, DIY, Cooking, Food Network, etc, should all be in some sort of group. I don't understand how or where Comcast has gotten their channel lineup but it needs implemented NOW. So PLEASE, arrange the channel lineup in some sort of grouping according to the type of channel it is. If you need help check out ATT Uverse or DirectTV. Thank you!

1) Add the ability to hide/unhide channels we don't want to see on the guide menu. As far as I know all of the cable or satellite boxes I've used within the past 2-3 years has this ability and I find it great to tailor the box to your likings. Take for instance even though I might get the Home Shopping Network in HD, doesn't mean I need or want to see it on the Guide Menu. If you gave us the ability to hide channels we could make the guide menu more managable.
