ComcastTeds- Just found out today that FS2 is available in SD on Channel 737 in Manayunk (a NW area of Philly) - but of course it's not on any of the suburban systems.   Any news on if this will ever roll out to the areas around Philly? ... View more

If you go to the About tab in the Menu - you can watch the Code changes.   The XRE server was updated last night around 6 when all heck broke loose and you couldn't do a thing. They then updated it again overnight - and everything was working fine.   Now, as others have posted - DVR functionality is broken yet again. I can randomly see my recorded shows - however scheduled and deleted always brings up the "maintenance" message.   Whoever was told that a "push was just sent out" received bad information. ...

They pushed a new XRE Server code out - go to the About tab and you'll see it.   It's brought back TV capability, but DVR is still out cold. This is unacceptable. ... View more

Completely down here in Delaware.   Tried rebooting - can't even get a picture to come up now. Previously had it stuck on Fox Soccer - couldn't bring up menus, change the channel, nothing.   This is going to be a long night. May need to go hit the bar ... View more

I can't even change the channel now - this is unbelievable. ... View more

Was able to access one recording around 2:30 - but after exiting, it's all screwed up again. Can't delete it, nor watch anything else.   This is laughable. ... View more

Kara- Is there ANY official word on this at all? It's now 1:20pm Eastern and I still cannot access anything on my DVR - and it's been this way since last evening.   It's obvious something seriously went wrong - at least provide an ETA when it is expected to be fixed. ... View more

DVR functionality completely down here in Delaware as well. So - over 12 hours now since this occurred.   So the primary, basic functionality of a DVR is to record programs - and they can't get that to work? Ugh. ... View more

The past week has been downright awful.   I couldn't set recordings last night at 9pm - DVR Maintenance.   I couldn't access my recordings - DVR Maintenance   Guide logos are all messed up.   Gave up on the DVR - went to bed - HD box wouldn't even come on. Had to reboot it to watch some TV before falling asleep.   Not sure what's been going on lately - but this needs to stop. Things have become severely worse in the past few days.    Not being able to watch TV in Prime Time, when most people watch - is rediculous.   Kara - please provide an update on why these issues have been happening lately. We deserve to know. ... View more

Just to update - Caller ID starting magically working again last night....may just have been a back-system issue.   Also had the "logo-sound/no picture" issue for the 1st time....guess that's still an outstanding item. ... View more

Did anyone else notice their On-Screen Caller ID no longer working as of last night? Frankly - I love this feature, and noticed last evening - and now all day today it isn't coming up.   Rebooted the box but no change. ... View more

Achar- I saw the same DVR message around 8pm last night. I couldn't access any of my recordings, or see the scheduled list.   Kara- How is this possible? Can you provide some guidance if some of our recordings are now being stored in the cloud?    This is the first bug that's actually really annoyed me, as I wanted to watch some recorded programs last night and couldn't. ...

Here's an opinion question for the forum:   When I hit the "Guide" button - I'd really like the full guide to be displayed instead of the right-side of the screen mini guide.   I always hit Guide twice since I prefer the full version. What does everyone else think? ... View more

THANK YOU for the post regarding the "D" button and deleting programs. When I set up my Harmony - I forgot to include "D".   Makes deleting shows from the "Deleted" folder so much easier!!   Now to reprogram my remote! ... View more

As others have noted - there was a XRE Server version update the other night - the STB version is still March 2nd, however if you go to the About tab, you'll notice updated information in the 1st 3 lines of code.   After a month or so - i'm pretty set that with the X1 being cloud-based, there are Comcast side updates, and STB side updates.   I also have the recording light as of last night - I was sitting there - and was like, wait - what's that red light? Came here to the forums this morning and boom.     ... View more

Kara- I noticed some posts on DSL Reports that people were seeing serious lag in the menus ironically during prime time hours lately.   Well, I saw it first hand last night. Around 8:30 Eastern, tried to watch a program recorded on the DVR. Literally took minutes to access the list, select the program, and then watch it.   Never witnessed this before last night. Please pass this on to the development team. Thanks. ... View more

Received the new code build on my DVR and 2 HD boxes overnight.   Honestly I must be lucky - I haven't experienced any issues lately with any of my boxes other than a little choppy video from time to time on certain HD channels (Food Network primarily).   Hope the new build resolves things. Just be glad you don't have FIOS - it would take them 6 months to push out a code update. Personally, I'm amazed at the quickness that Comcast is putting out updates. ... View more

Kara- I've noticed multiple builds on my X1 boxes over the past week. 1 last Wednesday, and another one this morning (caught my boxes rebooting).   Based on the info in the About tab, there have been XRE build updates as well as some on the STB side. Are you able to comment as to what features or fixes were addressed in these builds? On the other hand - VERY exciting to see the Prod Mgmt team addressing things on a regular basis. ... View more

@egeek84 wrote: so just an FYI, my bug where if the x1 is set to 5 and 5 on brightness settings would cause the box to reset to 2 and 2 is just that, a bug.  I decided to switch the numbers to 6 and 6 and the lights have remained that way for 2 weeks now so im happy to hear that the problem is solved.   So again, if you switch your device light and clock light to 5 and 5, about a day later you will find that the box has mysteriously changed it to 2 and 2.   I'm hoping this bug is eventually fixed though but in the meantime, i'm ok with using 6 and 6 since they aren't too bright. Egeek- I've noticed the same thing on my box - the brightness reverted to 2...LOL. ... View more

Mike- I can set recordings on my X1 DVR via the app - works perfectly. @MikeWolf wrote: Yup DVR Manager isn't available on the X1 currently, from what I've gathered. I agree that it's silly that in terms of going from the iGuide to the X1 that it comes off as a downgrade when it should be an upgrade. ... View more

Have spoken to comcast tech support. They claim latest patch actually made it better than it was in the past. . Remote missing input key, so I need to keep another remote around to switch to playing games with my kids or watching a blu ray movie. Annoying.  Brad- You may have a bad box then. My fan in my DVR can barely be heard.   ... View more

Aguiar- I have had 1 instance of my series recording tagging an old episode and recording it.   Haven't seen it repeat though...   And I agree with you - I would NEVER go back to the old DVR. I'm quite pleased with X1.   Now my billing - that's a whole other issue. I've been back with Comcast 8 months now - I've had to call or email regarding my bill now 6 of those months. It's slowly beginning to get old. ... View more

Has anyone experienced the Video Settings changing on their X1 box?   I have mine set to 1080p output (just got a brand new TV 3 weeks ago). PQ is fantastic.   But every 3 days or so - (since I have OCD) - I can tell that the picture looks different. Sure enough, I click over to the settings tab, and it's changed them back to 720p.   While it takes a matter of seconds to change it - it's just a PITA. ... View more

Since I got my DVR a little over a week ago - i've run into this instance twice now. Only a reboot fixes it.   Say I'm watching something that's recorded. Once it's done - the menu pops up to delete it. When I go to delete it - it will also show a list of other episodes of the show on the far right in case I want to watch it (great idea!)   However - when I delete the show - that list of other episodes gets "ghosted" onto the screen after you exit out and go back to watching live TV.   Meaning, you can see faintly the list of the programs in the background far right of the screen. No matter what new menus you bring up - it never disappears. ... View more

I just had my X1 DVR hooked up yesterday. However, we can only have it set at 720p resolution. Any time I change it to 1080i, the entire screen turns orange and all the video is distorted.   We then have to change it back to 720p, and reboot the entire DVR to make it watchable again.   This is on a 1080i capable plasma, as we had our previous boxes set to 1080i. (Same when we had FIOS)   Has anyone else witnessed this issue? I really don't want to watch all of my HD in 720p.   X1 DVR --> HDMI --> Pioneer Receiver --> TV ... View more
