    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...

    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...

    Thinking about dropping Directv for Xfinity

    I'm pretty sure it was retention because I told them I wanted to cancel. I don't think they could give me enough credits to come close.

    Thinking about dropping Directv for Xfinity

    From what I understand my bill is 89 for the cable and Internet 7 for the DVR and 10 each (X3) for the bedroom TV's for like 127 + tax. My Directv bill now is $142.73 and that's without Internet. They did offer discounts that will drop it to $111 only for the three months I have in my...

    Thinking about dropping Directv for Xfinity

    My savings would be closer to $40 a month. I really do hate everything about Comcast, but have to use them for Internet. Both Uverse and Bellsouth speeds are ridiculous. I dropped Directv a couple years ago and bundled with Comcast, but once the promotions were up, my bill sky rocketed and back...

    Not excited about the pending switch, but the savings is the deciding factor. Have been searching trying to find the pros of Xfinity?

    Thinking about dropping Directv for Xfinity

    Love Directv, hate Comcast, but the savings are kinda forcing me to switch. Directv did offer credits, but only for the three months I have remaining on my commitment. I'm waiting until the end of the month for the install to cut my early termination fee to $40

    Thinking about dropping Directv for Xfinity

    Cool, let me know how it goes. I'm in the same boat as you. Also hate Comcast channel line up, that will take some getting used to. I can't seem to get a read on the X1, the reviews are all over the place.

    Dropping Directv for Xfinity X1

    From what I remember Comcast would not budge when my last promo was up, that's why I switched back to Directv. Hopefully their customer service is better now. If only I could get Internet and Directv for the price of the Comcast triple play...

    Dropping Directv for Xfinity X1

    although I still have a few months to go in my Directv commitment, I'm seriously thinking of switching. Actually I have an install appoitment set for the end of this month, so my Directv commitment charge will only be $40. I currently have Directv with Genie and three mini's w/ HBO and my bill...

    Thinking about dropping Directv for Xfinity

    My Directv bill lost my new customer credits and now is $142 for a Genie and three mini's with HBO. Although I hate Comcast, I'm considering switching back since I already pay them for Internet. In south Florida, Comcast is the only high speed internet option at least in my area (Ft...
