Re: [X1] Bulletins Installing X1 Box Activation Hidden Remote CoCool...thanks! I like the easter eggs. I'll have to program those into my Harmony remote.
For a 5-minute skip I created a sequence in the Harmony software to do the 30-second skip multiple times (e.g. 5 times for 2.5 minutes). Works pretty well. I do wish they allowed programming of separate 30 second and 5 minute skips like the previous boxes. |

That is a great idea to program the skip commands and just hit it when I need it. Thanks for the tip! |

Thanks, useful info. Any idea on how to enable the external esata port? I see the greyed out menu, but no recognition of the esata like my previous box did. (Pace box) |

(Pace box) As you were told in your own thread on the topic, the X1 box cannot be enabled, there is no secret to it. It is in the firmware that Comcast is using, so without Comcast pushing a new firmware to it that enables the eSATA port, there is nothing anyone can do. |
