I have a new X1 DVR question (Might be a Comcast-wide DVR question)   When I choose to record a series I have 2 options "Record New Episodes Only" and "Record all Episodes". If I choose "Record all Episodes" will I get repeats of the same episode or will my DVR know enough to check and make sure that I don't already have a copy of the episode saved?     I  am trying to record a show that is on in syndication multiple days per week, episodes per day, and multiple channels, and I would rather not have to sort through all the episodes deleting duplicates.   Thanks in advance.   ...

Thank you Kara.   1. Is the lack of compatibility with external hard-drives a hardware constraint or a software constraint that could be removed in future updates? I know the X1 is a fairly new device and frequent updates are still being released.   2. If this option is in fact an easy programming fix is there any chance it gets rolled out in its own update or would it have to wait to be packaged with a more substantial update?   What has the general time frame of updates for the X1 been? I have heard they are frequent but does that mean like 2-3 a week or more like 1 every month? ... View more

I have 1 question about the X1 Boxes, and 1 question about Comcast's DVR capabilities in general.   1. Are the X1 boxes officially compatible with any external hard-drives yet? What is the largest compatible external hard-drive?   2. With the Comcast DVR service, am I able to sort my saved shows by Season & Epsiode # within series? Right now all I see is sort by date (recorded) and alphabetically by title. I would love to be able to see my shows that are saved listed chronologically by original air date or position in the season.   If the answer to #2 is a "No" where can I go to strongly suggest this feature. This seems like a fairly minor software issue, and an option that should be readily available to the watcher.   Thanks ... View more
