Review on πŸ“± Enhanced XFinity Comcast XR15 Voice Control Remote with Backlight for X1 Xi6 Xi5 XG2 by Robert Tyus

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Really great remote control, except for one.

This is a really great remote except it can't control the volume on my TV. That's why it doesn't get five stars. I used to teach data transmission. Mostly I talked about formats and protocols, but sometimes also about the future. Future when there will be 500 channels. This is the future now. And one problem I foresaw was how to know what's coming? The voice control feature is one of the current solutions and it works. I have a couple of "universal" Harmony remotes that I used when I had a projector system. I also had an AV receiver to deliver sound. I still have them, but now I have a new 65 inch TCL flat screen TV. The XFinity remote expects the sound to come from the TV itself, not a separate receiver. Therefore, it cannot control volume or mute. console harmony around.

Pros
  • Batteries included.
Cons
  • Obsolete
