How To Program Your Xfinity X1 Remote Control

Pair Your XFINITY Remote to Control Your XFINITY X1 TV Box

Your XFINITY remote can be paired with XFINITY X1 TV Boxes, allowing you to control the TV Box even when it is placed out of sight, such as in an entertainment center or in another room (up to 50 feet away). XFINITY remotes can be identified by the model number on the back panel or within the battery compartment of the remote.

Note: Once your remote is successfully paired with a TV Box, it will not control any other TV Box until paired with the other TV Box. XFINITY remotes can only be paired with one TV Box at a time.
