    New X1 Voice Command Remote

    So, how do we get one? Probably charge a extra monthly remote fee?

    Dropping Directv for Xfinity X1

    Just noticed I have to change the resolution everyday. It seems the units reboot every morning and the resolution resets to the basic setting. How can I stop this?

    What remotes are X1 customers getting?

    I had a new install two weeks ago and got the new remotes. They are all backlit which I assume are the new remotes.

    Post what DirecTV retention offered you!

    Left about a month ago to switch to xfinity for the bundle. Directv offered me about $25 off for the 3 months I had left in my commitment. About a week after I cancled, I get a email with additional,savings and offered a $$200 visa card to return. I would love to return but the bundle I get...

    Dropping Directv for Xfinity X1

    No, just the receiver. The TV's already are set to receive 1080P

    Dropping Directv for Xfinity X1

    Also, I'm not trying to set the TV, just the cable boxes. The main X1 supports this but the bedroom X1 clients don't? Doesn't make sense to me. Can deal with getting less channels than I had with Directv, but this channel lineup is driving me nuts. Wish there was some function to disable the...

    Dropping Directv for Xfinity X1

    My tv's support 1080P. I had it set on my Directv mini genies. When I tried to set the bedroom X1 resolution to 1080P the TV goes dead with a no signal message. I'm certain the TV gets 1080P as the main living room and bedroom TV's are identical with the only difference is size. The installer...

    Dropping Directv for Xfinity X1

    I have to pay $60 since my two year contract is up on June 30. I loved Directv and now that I have the X1, wiphich is pretty good but not as good picture quality as Directv.

    Dropping Directv for Xfinity X1

    Understood. When I had Directv installed, the installer didn't set the resolution. I went awhile until I was poking around and set the correct resolution. It was night and day the difference in picture quality. With the X1, it's hard to beleive the bedroom X1 clients don't support 1080p since...

    Dropping Directv for Xfinity X1

    I had the X1 package, so I Assume they are the X1 clients. I tried to adjust the display to 1080p while the installer was there and my TV went blank. He said that others have tried with same results and he know for a fact they don't get 1080p just 1080i. The main X1 DVR gets 1080p. I know for a...

    Dropping Directv for Xfinity X1

    Had Xfinity X1 installed Friday. I can't understand why the X1 bedroom boxes can't pick up 1080p. The main X1 allows the 1080P but the bedrooms only allow 1080i. This was confirmed by the installer. My Directv Genie and mini's all allowed 1080p. Xfinity is behind already?

    Dropping Directv for Xfinity X1

    Do these boxes pick up all the channels? From glancing at it I assumed they just get the locals. The price to add them is listing as $0 when I tried to add one to my order.

    Dropping Directv for Xfinity X1

    Your lucky to get locked in two years. With the promotion I'm getting, it's 89 for a year with the first year the X1 being $7 and three other tv's being $9.95 each for a total of 126 or something. Don't know what the primary DVR will be after the first year? I actually switched from Directv to...
