Re: [X1] Xfinity TV on X1 Platform and X1 Remote Control App!

said by aguiar0016:

I just had the X1 installed on 8-19-12. Install was painless, he was out of the house within 30 mins. I was swapped out a DCX 34XX for it. Overall the box is nice. Some of the new features like the sports app and the new guide work pretty good.

The way the 3 tuners work is that you still can only record 2 shows at one time, but now you can also watch another live show while the other 2 are recording or watch something previously recorded. I assume comcast is doing this so people don't get rid of 2nd or 3rd DVR's.

Couple of things I miss (or its too early to tell) is the option to search by just sports. Now everything is a universal search so trying to find what sports are on right now is a pain.

As of right now for the same price it's worth the change to the X1 DVR.

Only 3 tuners thats kind of disappointing to hear

What was all the talk about the new box having like 6 tuners?

And the fact that it has 3 tuners and you can still only record 2 programs at the sametime instead of 3 really blows the big one!

In my opinion these new boxes should have at least 4 tuners and allow you to record 4 things at the sametime if we need to.

Who's bright idea at Comcast was this?

Also whats the Hard Drive size? Atleast 1TB hopefully?

And are these new guides on these boxes at least a lot less buggy then the crappy guildes we have been using for years now?

The box is capable of 6 tuners but Comcast activates only 3.

hard drive is 500GB .

Less buggy so far but I want to give it some time to see.
