I discovered the Xfinity app for my smartphone about a month ago. I think it's one of the neatest things. We can be out somewhere and program the DVR to record something that we forgot to set it up for before leaving home.
At the time I downloaded the app, we had 2 of the older silver DVRs. One wasn't working properly, so we exchanged it in Leesburg and got a newer black one with a larger hard drive. I found out after I got home and hooked it up that I cannot program it from my smartphone. The support tech told me that the software will not be available until around the end of the year. I'm very disappointed.
You can also do your programming from your laptop. The DVRs show up ad DVR1 and DVR2. You just have to figure out which one is which.
Actually, I just tried to set up the new DVR to record and it looks like it may have done it. I'll have to check later to see if it actually did. Maybe they have fixed the software.
