Works with Cox Contour 2

I use them with Cox Contour 2. The remotes don't have voice control but I don't usually use that feature anyway and they were a lot cheaper than buying Cox spares. I had to follow the instructions to reset the remote before it worked.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Very expensive

They don't work with our TVs

We had to replace our remotes - we tried them on two TVs - one Samsung and the other Vizio - none of them would sync so we could turn up the volume or change channels - so yes, $35 spent. We missed the return window by 11 days - my wife had surgery so didn't have time to try them out sooner.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • For the old

Best xfinity remote I've ever used

Works well. Passes multiple walls with ease. beautiful appearance. The buttons on mine glow red when you move the remote, which is very useful in the dark. It's a bit touchy, so if you press it lightly you'll end up in a different channel or menu, but I can blame the product on my own operator error. Would buy again.

Pros
  • Glitter
Cons
  • Worries me

Didn't work with any of my comcast boxes

Reason 2 is because I did a lot of research, or so I thought. But it turned out not to be compatible with any of the Xboxes in my house. Although I did some research beforehand, I now have 2 remotes that don't work with either box in different rooms. I was just trying to avoid the Comcast line of business. So now I either have to exchange my box or get new remote controls. As for the quality of the remote - they are good - I wish they would work with my box. My box is not even that old in theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Much better than the original remote control

I was very happy with that. One of our Xfinity remotes fell and broke. I ordered these as a replacement. It's much better than the original remote control. Two upgrades are the backlight so you can see the remote in low light. The backlight activates when you move, so it's awesome. Second, there is an enter key. Why this wasn't the case with the first generation X1 remotes is beyond me, but now we can easily switch from Blu-Ray/Roku with the Xfinity remote. If you have the original remotes this

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Functionality

What Comcast has to offer you

This is the remote control that was supposed to come with the Xfinity X1 system. The solid shape is less likely to slip out of your hand than a standard remote, the backlit buttons are great, and the flat back keeps it from rolling. It seems a bit larger than the standard remote so it might bother some people, but other than that it's excellent. If you have an X1 and miss the backlit buttons of the old silver Comcast remotes, get them now - you won't regret it! Easy to set up and work like aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • Weak kit

Replaces a previous Comcast Xr5 Rf Remote X1 with Light - Version V4-r

Same as our previous remote. Fits easily with my bedroom TV and soundbar. Works great. It's comfortable for my hand. The keys work smoothly and the main reason to buy is of course the backlight, which is great when the room lights are dim or turned off completely. I've been trying to get this remote from Comcast since July. Her store doesn't have it, so I called her and ordered. Called 3 times to find out why I can't get it but keep wanting to send me a remote that I don't want. Finallyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • High Price
