The update time has now changed to 6am - 8am and I still cannot change it on any of my four boxes.
What is going on with this?

No error messages. It just goes right back to the preferences when I hit "Confirm" and it doesn't change the time.
The boxes are:

Basement: XG2v2-S
Is this any help?

No. It does not. Did you even read my first post? That's exactly what I'm doing. It's just not saving when I hit confirm.

I like it as well ... when it works.
We recorded Hollywood Game Night last night and then watched it. The recording only recognized the first two commercial breaks.

I unplugged each box, waited 30 seconds, and then plugged them back in.
I still cannot change the update time on any of the four boxes.
Anything else to try?

We have four X1 boxes:
2 - XG1-P DVRs (Living Room, Master Bedroom)
2 - XG2 (Second Bedroom, Basement)
We had our daily update time set at 2am - 4am (Default) but, yesterday, it changed to 4am - 6am. Last time this happened, I had to go down to the basement box to change the update time as none of the other three boxes would accept the change. This time however, I cannot change the update time on any of our four boxes. Whenever I hit Confirm, it just goes back to the 4am - 6am time.
We are up between 4am and 6am and it is very annoying when all of the boxes reset for 10 minutes every morning.
How can I change this?

You're replacing all of the Cinemax channels from packages with this on-demand Hitz garbage that has a "rotating list of more than 200 movie titles"?
And, of course, you're not lowering the price of our packages either. How do you really see Hitz as an equal replacement of Cinemax? We're losing six channels, all of Cinemax's original programming, and they currently have almost 300 movies on-demand.

We have 4 boxes ... 2 DVRs and 2 satellite boxes.
We had the daily update time set as the default (2am - 4am) but after we added the fourth box (basement), it changed the daily update time to 10am - 12pm.
I tried changing it back on both DVRs and the upstairs satellite box but, even though it would let select a new update time (2am - 4am), it would never save it. I had to go down to the satellite box in the basement to change the update time back to 2am - 4am.
Why can't I change the update time on any of the upstairs boxes? Why do I have to go down to the basement to change the update time? Is that box considered a primary box (does that even exist on the X1 system)?
Thanks.

Thanks.
We actually used to have one of these that Comcast put in but they took it out a few years ago because they said our signal was too strong.

We currently have three X1 boxes (2 DVRs and 1 satellite), an Xfinity phone modem, and my own internet modem.
We wanted to add a fourth cable box to our service and I'd rather not have a tech come out if I don't need one.
The cable currently comes into our house and then hits a four-way splitter. Three of the outputs go upstairs and the fourth goes to the phone modem which is pretty much right next to the splitter.
The TV we would be adding would also be in the basement very close to the splitter. I am wondering if I should replace the four-way splitter with a five-way splitter or, split the cable going to the phone modem with a two-way splitter and use that for the new TV downstairs.
I really don't want to degrade any of the signals going upstairs and swapping out to a five-way splitter may do that.
What would be best? Swap to a five-way splitter or split the cable going to the phone modem? Or, should I just try splitting the phone modem cable and see what happens?

It seems to be fine now in Chicago. However, everything that I recorded yesterday no longer plays (even off the cloud). It now forces me to On-Demand for everything that I recorded which means watching commercials with it.

I can report It is now working properly in the Chicago area-no cloud version of a recording.
Just checked my wife's recording of The Bold and the Beautiful today (it is currently recording). Playback is coming from the cloud. I am in the Chicago suburbs.

There is now a message on the website. I chatted with support and they gave me a whopping $5 credit for my inconvenience. There is no timeline for the problem to be fixed. And just now as I'm typing this my service has stopped entirely.
Where is the message? Whenever I go to xfinity.com it just brings me to my account page. What does the message say?

Well, they missed that time. I just recorded something 10 minutes ago and played it back. It played back from the cloud and was hardly watchable.

I don't buy that. If there was a problem with the cloud, why are recordings all of a sudden going to the cloud instead of my DVRs?

There has to be a nightly update that messed up the DVR function of all these x1 boxes at the same time. Comcast, please inform and correct, at $200+ /month ....this is not acceptable!
I am having the same issue in the Chicago suburbs. Everything I recorded prior to Wednesday recorded to my DVRs and play back from my DVRs. Everything I recorded after Tuesday seems to have been recorded to the cloud and will only play back from the cloud.
It is very aggravating as the cloud is horrible. The controls are sluggish and the picture isn't as good as playing back from the DVRs.

Everything I recorded before yesterday play back from my DVRs (Project Blue Book attachment).
However, starting yesterday, everything I record plays back from the cloud (The Magicians attachment).
Why is this all of a sudden happening? Playing back from the cloud has sluggish controls and the picture isn't as good as playing back from my DVRs.

The closest Xfinity store wasn't too far so I headed over and explained the situation and asked for an XG2 box. I got one, brought it home, and hooked it up and everything seems to be working great. I have 30 days to bring my old box back so hopefully there won't be any issues going forward.
Thanks for the help!

They never really gave me a reason. IIRC, it was just having a hard time getting a solid signal. It would keep pixelating and the screen would keep going blank. The guy said he had a RNG150N in his truck and he tried it and it worked.
When I go to the Xfinity store, do I have to take my existing box with me? I'd hate to get a new box, have it not work, and then have to try to get my old box back that does work.

Thanks Andrew. I'm guessing if I call, they'll send out a new box for me. Do I have to specifically request an XG2 box to be sent?

When we upgraded to X1 a few years ago, a small black non-DVR box was installed in our second bedroom (pretty sure it was an XiD-P as that is what I have written down). At that time, that box just wouldn't work in that room (we tried two different ones). Now we currently have a RNG150N box in that room but voice activation doesn't work with it and we can't get Netflix or Amazon on it. Have the non-DVR boxes been upgraded in the last few years where we can try swapping it our again so we can have all the X1 features in the second bedroom?
I own my own modem and do not have an Xfinity wireless gateway so I guess the wireless boxes are not an option for me.

It depends on the model of satellite STB you have. If you have the original X1 Satellite STB of RNG150N, it will never support the Netflix app. Comcast will let you replace that RNG150 with a newer satellite STB at no charge or change in your monthly bill. I swapped mine for a newer XID X1 box that fully supports Netflix and other X1 apps that appear on your main X1DVR box.
I'm not talking about a satellite box. We have two XG1-P boxes. Netflix is working on one of them but the other box still says coming soon in the Comcast Labs section.

I am having the same volume issue since Saturday morning.
Normally, we have the volume set on our TV at 20 (Samsung 4k).
Friday, the sound was fine. All of a sudden, starting Saturday, we have to turn the volume up past 30 to get the same loudness output we used to have (all channels and all recordings). The volume coming from the PS4 and the Blu-Ray player are fine so I'm guessing it has something to do with the HDMI output from the box. I manually reset the box yesterday and it didn't solve the issue.
I hope they can get a fix pushed for this soon.

Although I am not in any of these areas, is there a way to see how much data I have used every month? I game for about 4 hours a day (more on weekends) and am wondering what data usage is.
