Program 30 second skip comcast remote

With the X1 box and XR2 remote, the process to reprogram a button takes only two steps, but you are forced to sacrifice the five-minute skip ahead button.

And as a strange side effect, the five-minute skip back button changes to a second skip back, leaving you with two second skip back buttons on the remote. Now, when you use your remote, you'll find that the page up button, which previous skipped ahead five minutes, now skips ahead 30 seconds. And the page down button now skips back 15 seconds, even though the Replay button near the top of the remote also skips back 15 seconds.

I tried other amounts of time, thinking I could enter for a second skip, for a one-minute skip, or for a Chuck Woolery two-minute-and-two-second skip, for example, but none worked. I was, however, able to return both the page up and page down buttons to five-minute skips by entering in the second step.

While I don't like having to sacrifice my five-minute skip buttons, my viewing habits have me skipping ahead 30 seconds more than skipping forward or backward in five-minute increments. Are you an Xfinity X1 user? If so, have you found any useful hacks for the XR2 remote? Press and hold the Setup button again until the"AUX" button again blinks twice.

The "AUX button will again blink twice. Do these steps to program a second forward skip into the Page UP button: While doing this, hold the remote close to the cable box. Turn off the television. On the remote, press the EXIT button three times in a row. Type in with the number keys.

Hold the remote very close to the cable box while pressing the reprogramming button steps. The reprogramming actually is reprogramming the DVR cable box, not the remote control itself. Make sure you are pressing each button deliberately. Not too fast, but not too slow either. Make sure the DVR is not recording a program while you do these reprogramming steps. Try turning off the TV itself during this process. Discussion threads can be closed at any time at our discretion. Matt Elliott. March 26, p.
