Re: [X1] X1, to get or not to get...cost? said by Mike Wolf:ahh come on dude we don't even know what S26 gives us and pretty sure the X1 guide won't run on the Cisco RNG200N boxes.
I think I also read somewhere that the RNG boxes would get X1 at some point. I'll post that if I see it again.
S26 info is on the comcast site (features, locations and what not) »forums.comcast.com/t5/XfinityTV-···/1501473
The new features are being launched on a rolling basis, market by market and will continue into early 2013. Once I have updated and confirmed schedules for the next areas I will be able to post that information in this thread.
So, what’s new? For starters, DVR Manager, Caller ID to the TV and full use of the XFINITY TV app.
Details on these and some other new features are below:
DVR Manager: From the internet and the Xfinity TV app, customers can: set recordings, view/modify scheduled recordings, view completed recordings, modify series priority lists, etc.

There are several customer facing issues resolved in this guide release as well, including the following:

- DVR over-recording issues with New and Repeat episodes
- Not Authorized messages appearing on authorized channels
- HD Pass through working with HDMI cables
- RNG 200s only: When watching live TV, pressing rewind may rewind all the way to the beginning of the buffer and bring the customer back to live TV.
- RNG 200s only: Audio /video occasionally cuts in and out after swapping channels.
- RNG200N's only: Video momentarily blacks out while watching TV. |
