Doesn't work for me with Xfinity X1 DVR

I've tried everything I can think of to try and get the devices working with the Xfinity X1 DVR. I tried placing the extender directly over the IR sensor on the front of the X! and also placed the receiver at different positions in front of the DVR. I've moved the transmitter to various positions, but I just couldn't get the remote to work through the system. Total distance was 60 to 70 feet, up half a flight of stairs in a two story house. Not in sight, but the wireless signal didn't have to go through a solid wall, just around a corner. I can only conclude that the system is either not compatible with the Xfinity X1 IR signal, or one of the components is defective, or the declared range is questionable. I am disappointed that I have to return the device.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Fragile
