Xfinity remote replacement

[Golfer222]

Anybody know of a universal replacement remote for the Xfinity box- the one that came with it is very user unfriendly. Does not even have a prior channel function. Looked at the Logitechs but they are too involved . thanks

Sounds like you need to trade that one in at Comcast. I've had comcast for 10 years and have never seen a remote that outdated.

it is their latest remote

If you don't want to go to Comcast you can always buy one from Amazon, they carry most remotes.

Ours is less than 2 years old and is very user friendly, to go back to the last channel you just hit the white arrow next to the blue microphone symbol. When they installed ours the guy told us that they just go these in and we were the first he was installing with the new boxes and controls. If you don't have the microphone and back button you have an old set rather than their latest.

Here is a photo of mine, this I believe is their latest one. Note the white back arrow on the bottom left.

They shouldn't have to buy one, Comcast should give it to them. Also, is it compatible with their older boxes? I would call them and ask, I have found they have very good customer assistance.

Comcast will absolutely replace them at no charge. I’ve done this several times, and never have I been asked why I was swapping them.

It’s extremely cheaply made remote!
Notice their equipment
“Designed in Philadelphia with Love
Made in China”

It will only get worse now!

[thevillages2013]

Have you tried the voice command on the remote? Just hold the microphone looking button down and say NBC or ESPN or whatever you are looking for like “ golf tournament today”

[Kerry Azz]

I have spares if you need one let me know, send me a pm and I’ll get back to you

[J1ceasar]

Go to ebay

Best remote I’ve ever had.

[kkingston57]

If you have an older xfinity box and remote, contact them and get latest model. I did and they work great.

I'm not sure what you mean by cheaply made. Do you want a remote made out of cast iron?

[retiredguy123]

Whenever you return or exchange equipment, don't return the remote or the cables. Xfinity doesn't want them.

I agree. I hate this remote. It does have a back button, but is still is very user unfriendly. I used a TiVo remote for years and I really miss it. Those little arrows that you can barely feel and the delete button is terrible

[jnvillages]

I find the latest remote hard to use. Do not like placement of buttons. Going to switch to the older ones

[C-Pet]

Mine is probably more than two years old but it has a button called LAST that brings up the last half-dozen or so things I have watched on the bottom of the screen and you can select any one of them to go back to.

The "last" button on the old remote is the same as the left pointing arrow button on the new remote.

The old and new remotes are almost identical as far as functions, except that the old remote has a separate TV on/off power button, but the new remote doesn't.
