Here is a new twist to Sunday night shows not recording on time due to football overruns. On Sunday, Nov. 1, I had my usual shows to record at the times indicated on the X1 guide - 60 minutes was supposed to start at 7:30 and Madam Secretary at 8:30. Our friends at Comcast were taking into account football overruns. Guess what?! There was no football overrun on CBS.  But since no one at Comcsat fixed this, each recording started half an hour late, in the middle of the show, not the show's actual start time.   Thanks Comcast for causing me to miss the first half of 60 minutes and screwing up the entire evening of CBS recordings. ...

#!: started writing a message here, got to the end and it disappeared.  not a good sign.   Having FF, rewind, and pause issues. pushed FF, nothing happened. Tried again, and again. then it started to FF and couldn't stop it. when it did, same thing with rewind. Coundn't get back to the starting poind. had to do a box reset.Same issue with another box the next day.   to say annoying doesn't even come close. ... View more

Happy 4th all.   My report on MLB Sports Extra: mostly a waste of time. I was watching the Nats and Giants and thought I'd checkout Extras. At the middle of the 8th inning Extra was displaying the middle of the 6th. 15 minutes after the game was over, it was still displaying the "current" info for the 6th inning.   My take on it - currently a useless feature with some possible potential. ...

I tried the "extras" link and there isn't anything. According to the promo piece, I don't think the game has to be on: Baseball Extras pulls in and aggregates data from several sources to rate games based on team records, compute each team’s win probability and preview pitching matchups. During a game, the app displays real-time stats and analysis like strike-out percentages, pitch counts.......   I will try tonight. ... View more

There is an X1 issue you all should be aware of. They are having problems with some, not all, series recordings, and it's been going on for a while.   I record a program called Sunday Morning each week on CBS at 9 AM and have done so for years. Went to watch it at about 10:45 and it wasn't there.   Called Comcast - that's when i received the news that there were known issues, the show did not record and, much to my chagrin, it wasn't hidden in the cloud or anywhere else.  Unrecoverable.   My question as to why we weren't notified was answered with "that would be hard to do; people will find out when/if they call to report the problem."   Sometimes I hate Comcast!!   ...

I thought these forums were supposed to be mutually beneficial and i think they started out that way. Lately i'm having a hard time determining if they serve any purpose aside from letting us blow off a little steam and giving Comcast an opportunity to say "see, we care!"   I also wonder what percentage of their customers are aware of these forums.  I don't see them heavily promoted anywhere. ...

I have considered switching several times. My neighbors on both the right and left have gone to Fios from Comcast and both are happy = good picture, fast download, AND fast upload speeds (would love a faster upload speed), and many HD channels from HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, and Starz instead of one each.   The X1 platform has such great potential, I just wish they would stop trying to fix what's not broken and work on problems many, if not most, of which are brought up in these forums.     I stay because Verizon is very difficult to deal with and i have several good points of contact with Comcast. Continual upward price creep isn't helping either.   I hope Comcast gets its stuff together before my frustration level gets to a point that I feel Comcast isn't as interested in keeping my business as Verizon is in acquiring it. ...

Thanks. I got an email about Share and went to Google Play and it has a 2.9 rating out of 5 with almost as many 1s as 4s and 5s combined. A lot of people were not pleased that a triple play was required to get it.   I'll give it a try.   I've been using Connect for going on 2 years. Handy getting calls on my mobile but sometimes if the caller leaves a message it ends up on the mobile instead of my regular home voice mail.  ... View more

RE: The following paragraph. Who are they trying to kid? MLB opening day is less than a month away and it is March Madness time.

Sorry to divert the chain of thought, but at about 7 this morning I had NO service - no TV, no Internet, no voice. When calling about the outage there was no option to address a total outage, I had to choose 1.  Tried phone.  Useless. He wanted me to plug and unplug the modem, etc.  I explained that it was more than the services coming through the modem, it was everything. He told me that he could only address phone and internet and i would have to call back for tv. He also made it a point to tell me that he knew what he was doing.   Questions:  Why did I waste my time? Why not one point of contact who had the sense to understand my service was out? He scheduled a service call which I cancelled a few hours after my service came back, one segment at a time.   It seems that we all are experiencing frustrations that should be addressed.    ...

It started 2 nights ago. an persisted through watching a recording.   Last night I was watching a recording of the CBS evening news and it started again.  This time i made note of the intervals. 54 seconds in, the playback stopped and the following message appeared:   Recording Playback Error The recording you are trying to play is not available at this time.

Good thing it was only a 30 minute show.   This is very annoying.   Thanks. You didn't say but obviously were watching on a satellite X1 (terminal) or on a 2nd DVR. Either way, never call for X1 problems at 800-comcast. use the dedicated X1 support center number 877-896-8678. They will login to your devices and review the MoCA signal levels and verify any internet modem is not causing MoCA issues. If this should happen again, go to the DVR (with new super DVR function, might have to check more than one) you think has the actual recording and try to play it there. If you find it plays from 'one' DVR and not from another "whole home' unit, comcast can fix that easily. I might mention that for me as an example, with 5 outlets and internet, the 'home' wiring insurance plan is a godsend. no worry of unexpected repair bills even if dog/cat/rat/mouse chews on the ouside home cable line. I think the charge here is about $4/month. Thanks, but I have 4 full DVRs.  We want the ability to pause and rewind from any location. I don'd call 800-Comcast.  I call directly to the techs with whom I want to speak. I have a MoCA filter but it is supposedly to reduce interference on my 2.4Ghz wireless Internet. My 5Ghz is wonderful delivering download speeds over 125Megs. There is now a trouble ticket being escalated.     ... View more
