Xfinity New COMCAST HDTV DVR Cable Remote Control XR2

When older remote is not functioning well, purchasing a new one is the best option. It even comes with batteries! The programming process is simple. Very satisfied.

I love it because I did not have to program it. It came ready.

My old XR2 remote had a couple of buttons that barely worked after many years of service. I searched for a new remote and Amazon had the exact replacement and it included batteries. Powered it up, linked it to the Xfinity Box and to my TV, and it works just like the new remote of old. And, I didn't have to deal with Xfinity customer service, which is the industries worst in my view. Thanks Amazon for the great product and excellent service.

Needed a new remote because I actually took my old one into store and they gave me the wrong replacement. It works good it’s the same as the old one. My problem is with the remote itself. Xfinity problem. Not Amazon.

Received the XR2 remote on 1 October 2017. The reason I ordered the XR2 was because some of the buttons on one of the two original XFINITY remotes I have, which I've been using with two XFINITY Cisco RNG150N cable boxes for over 3.5 years, have stopped working (e.g., the VOL, All On, and Exit buttons).I took the problematic remote apart, cleaned internals, including rubber push buttons, with alcohol and compressed air duster, but that didn't do any good. I believe the remote's rubber command buttons tend to deteriorate, or maybe deform, ever so slightly over time, causing contact issues with internal control board circuitry, resulting in command failure. That and/or control board circuitry begins wearing out.The XR2 remote works flawlessly with both Cisco boxes and has restored functionality lost in problem remote.I was also able to program the XR2 with the same code (after some trial and error input of other recommended Samsung codes) to control two older model Samsung TV's (one purchased in late 2009, the other in early 2014).I read one reviewer's comment somewhere under Amazon product reviews, either for this remote or for others I was considering (I forget exactly where) that a replacement remote for an XFINITY cable box should look exactly the same as the one being replaced.In my particular case, that turned out to be inaccurate as the original remotes that came with the CISCO boxes look significantly different from the XR2, at least with positioning of some of the control buttons (see photo).If my other original remote starts to fail, and as long as I have XFINITY and these particular cable boxes, at least now I'll know what replacement remote to go for.

This remote is covered in a sticky film, so gross. I cannot use it

Our remote for an older 19 inch Samsung had finally worn out. This is an excellent replacement, and in some respects easier to use at least to attach/pair with the Samsung TV. We use Comcast and it looked to be straightforward: first you set up so you can control the picture And then you add a code that is included for Samsung, and other TVs to, so that you can use volume and mute. This works with the second code. I am pleased to say, and I am so happy with this that I bought a second in case these are difficult to find in the future .

Replacement. Worked.
