I think it's kinda silly that there's a record LED on the Motorola's front panels and a "REC" icon on the Cisco's displays and the software also puts "rEC" on 7 segment LED displays. |

Is there anyway to check how big the hard drive is in the X1 DVR?
I bet its a 500GB but it sure would be nice if it was a 1TB |
|
| I was told somewhere on the Comcast forums it was a Seagate ST1000VM002 1TB hard drive because of the lack of eSATA external drive support right now. |

Really that is great! |

| Yup, would be better if we could use an external drive as well, then we'd have 2TB of recording space. |

At the end of a status page for external hard drive support for Motorola DVRs (»media2.comcast.net/anon.comcasto···9-13.pdf) it also says:
This feature is currently only available on the DVRs listed on the website and is not currently compatible with DVRs on the XFINITY TV X1 platform; that DVR includes a 1TB internal hard drive.

How are the X1 HD boxes? Thinking of upgrading my DVR to an X1 DVR, but I also have a few HD boxes. I assume they also have to be upgraded? Also am I correct in thinking there is not any Anyroom DVR? |

1 edit | It's hit or miss regarding the X1 boxes. From what I'm hearing on the X1 thread on Comcast some like it some are having troubles. »forums.comcast.com/t5/XfinityTV-···/1557105
Yes the high end set top boxes from Motorola and Cisco should be getting the Xcalibur guide sometime in 2013 or 2014. The Anyroom question I'm not sure about.

Is Xcalibur the code name for the guide that the X1 boxes run? If they are planning to upgrade the Cisco DVR with it, I might as well wait as it seems they are still working out the bugs. But then again Comcast is notorious with upgrade delays. haha |

The X1 Experience is the eventual goal for all of our high-end cable boxes regardless of geography or existing plant infrastructure. We do have the X1 Guide running in customer homes in SA-Cisco areas of New Hampshire and with employees in SA-Cisco areas in New Jersey.

Xfinity X1 now available to ALL Customers in Philly! I'm in Philly and I called Comcast for service yesterday because my TV picture was pixelated and was told my signal was weak and they would send a tech out for today. I asked the phone tech if she could send an X1 DVR to me. The tech showed up with the box but said my signal was too weak for the box. So he changed a few things around and got rid of a couple 20 year old splitters I wasn't using and he hooked up the X1. Nice!
The guide is 100X better and the GF loves the Facebook and Twitter apps. So far, so good.
I figured out how to use most everything and am missing the channel reminder you use to set for favorite shows in the future. Also, after you pair the remote with the X1 box the remote allows only 1 peripheral device to be set up and only for audio. If you pair the remote with the auxiliary audio the TV's audio is no longer controllable with the remote.  Hopefully some updates will make things better. |
|
| That sounds like a limitation of the remote and not the box so I don't think any software is gonna fix that. |

CH-
The X1 DVR is quick, fast - and I love it.
I also have 2 HD boxes with it. As others mentioned - it's a bit sluggish - the guide will hang up - it'll take a few seconds to populate - and also, the box doesn't always turn on. I've had to hit the power button on the front a few times. It's almost as if the boxes don't have the memory to handle the software.
Hopefully revisions will make it better....

What are those two HD boxes? Are they client boxes for the X1 (which would make them XI3's) »www.lightreading.com/set-top-box···40135759
or do they have their own tuners? |

kudos:2 | JeepMatt  will have to confirm this, but I believe the companion box currently being used with the X1 is the Pace RNG150N.
