If what the latest post in that thread (»
forums.comcast.com/t5/Xf ··· 5#M59637) says is true, then there are some interesting new developments coming to the X1:
I spoke with the local comcast rep and he said hopefully by superbowl the x1's were going to the cloud with the dvr recorded shows so they will have the anyroom functionality. I also spoke with him about the remote and he says they are aware of it and coming out with a new remote not the r2 but a different one, supposedly it's going to have a slide out keyboard and possibly backlit (with the abilty to switch between tuners on the tv).
So I say hang in there people we are the early adopters of this new box. Its only going to get better.
