What's New

Now it's even easier to see what you can watch in the future. We've fixed a bug with our latest version so you can select future dates and times of TV listings.

App Description

Use your smartphone or tablet as a remote control. Change channels, browse Xfinity On Demand, TV listings, and DVR recordings--you can even use voice commands if you've got an X1 Voice Remote. This app is included with your Xfinity X1 service.

Key Features:
-Tune to your preferred channels on your TV from the Listings view, and use Filters to narrow down listings by categories such as Sports, Kids, High Definition, Closed Captioning, and more.
-Browse the XFINITY On Demand library featuring thousands of TV shows and movies, and launch your selection onto your TV from the app.
-Use the Search feature to find TV shows, movies, or channels.
-Rename the cable boxes in your home for easier identification.

Features for DVR Customers:
-Launch existing recordings onto your TV right from the app and delete them when you’re finished
-View scheduled recordings

Exclusive Features for X1 Customers:
-Say it and see it with the new X1 voice remote feature. Use voice commands to change channels, find shows, get recommendations, launch apps, and more!
-Conveniently change channels on your TV using the channel number keypad.
-Use the directional (up, down, left, right) pad on the app for on-screen navigation, just like you would on your X1 remote.
