XfinitySet of Two Comcast Xr5 Rf Remote Control X1 w/Backlight - Version V4-r

Have xfinity cable and smart tv. They would not pair up

Just like our earlier remote. Easy to pair with my bedroom tv and sound bar. Works like a charm. This fits my hand comfortably. The keys work smoothly and of course the main reason for buy this is it has a backlight which is great when the room lighting is dim or totally off. I tried to get this remote from comcast since July. None at their store so I called them up and ordered it. Call 3 times to find out why I couldn't get it but the always want to send me remote that I don't want. Finally someone told me this remote was discontinued. You would think comcast would inform their employee's so the customer isn't sent on a wild goose chase. So finding this remote on Amazon was great for me. Plus this was a 2 pack so I have a spare.

Wanted to get my parents extra remotes of the same design as it took them a while to get comfortable with the tech. Remotes control their upgraded set top boxes.

Works good. Will not use voice feature on remote.

I ordered the XR5 Rf Remote Control to replace an XR2 remote I had dropped one too many times. I loved the XR5 as soon as I unwrapped it. It has a nice smooth rubbery coating that not only feels good but I suspect will help protect it when dropped. It was a snap to pair it to my TV and found that I could also set it to control the power & volume on my soundbar, eliminating another remote. As far as I know the XR2 doesn't have that feature. I had ordered the set of two to have one as a backup; however, I love this so much I am going to go ahead and replace another XR2 with the second XR5 now.

This is the remote that should come with the Xfinity X1 system. The solid shape feels less likely to slip out of your hand than the standard remote, the backlit buttons are great, and the flat back keeps it from rolling away. It does seem slightly larger than the standard remote, so that could be a concern for some people, but other than that it's excellent. If you have X1 and miss the backlit buttons of the old silver Comcast remotes, get these now - you'll be glad you did!Easy to configure and works just like the standard X1 remote, including the "Xfinity" button. Awesone.

I was very happy with this. One of our Xfinity remotes fell on the floor and broke. I ordered this as a replacement. It is much better than the original remote. The two improvements are backlighting so you can see the remote in dim light. The backlighting is triggered with motion so it is fantastic. Secondly there is an input button. Why this was missing on the first generation X1 remotes is a mystery to me but now we can switch easily from bluray/roku simply with the xfinity remote. If you have the original remotes this is a terrific upgrade!

Works well, buttons are backlit for ease of identification.
