Can I run one X1 DVR + TV and seven non-dvr cable boxes + TVs on Comcast Xfinity cable TV?

It would be great if somebody from Comcast tech could way in on these questions

Did you use passive splitter(s) or a lossless splitter like PPC Entry? Did you do your own install?

@user_c58c22​ Here’s another question, is there enough signal strength to support that many tuners? How do you know?

I want to wall mount smaller X1 non-DVR cable boxes (e.g. Xi3, Xi5) behind wall mounted TVs. Is there a wall mount bracket or how could it be done? Thanks

I thought there was a cap on the number of tuners that you could have? I thought the maximum was six?

So, if I had one DVR and seven non-DVR, since a DVR cable box has six tuners, two non-DVR cable boxes would not have tuners to address, is that correct?

@XfinitySheila Would all of the non-DVR boxes access the same tuner in the DVR box if all we’re watching the same channel?

Is the remote control for X1 boxes RF to enable function when direct line of sight is not available? What is the range of RF control?

THANKS BruceW! The PPC brand looks to be the best of these two. Comcast installs these or do I need to get before installation?

I’ve looked at https://comca.st/2Y13dqV extensively and plan to have a Comcast tech do the install, however, it’s hard to know exactly what to ask for given possible limits to functionality, such as signal degradation from too many splits.
