Re: wireless boxes freezing up all the time?
Re: poor overcompressed sound? Is it just me?
Yes. I am using the ones that came with the system.
I am also using Dolby Digital 5.1 as well. I used expert mode and it was unchanged.
This is the unit I have.

the HDMI connector is always 'on' and your local channels will probably be in HD.

tune to an SD channel. sound perfect? tune to a music choice channel, sound perfect? tune to a local channel. sound perfect? connect HDMI directly to TV and turn on TV speakers. sound perfect on all channels?
Re: Can't figure out XR15 remote
No need to get a new box. Check your inbox for my reply. I can help.
Re: ZOOM in bug.
As I was told by a Comcast rep it is not on and cost me 10 dollars more per month but I only have SD so I have no idea if they were full of it or not.
Re: On Demand Acorn TV
Re: ZOOM in bug.
i'm just wondering.. if your TV has HDMI does it also HD (720p/1080p) capable?
Re: ZOOM in bug.
My TV is from 1996 (Magnavox) and until last year had composite and RF in but lightning hit and it took out the composite so I only have RF in now.

X1 actor Biographies no longer available.......
On Sunday 7/22 around 8 pm (ET), the X1 system changed and lost the feature to read an actors bio. All that remains is the person's date and place of birth.
Prior to last night, you could read a paragraph or 2 about that persons life, work, and possibly even a date of death (if applicable)
I enjoyed this feature and wonder 2 things:
1) Why was it taken away?
2) Are there plans to restore this feature (if so, what's the timeframe)
Thank you

Re: Cannot activate XG1v4-A. Error XRE-00251.
I am also getting that error when trying to start Netflix. Is this related to a change on the Netflix website?
Re: Movie Star Biographies
Seriously,
Name a time that 'people complaining" caused Comcast to do anything in response
Re: Poor reception of all sports channels

I went ahead and purchased the EVO-1 9 port amp and rewired my entire house (took 2 days). I purchased quad shield RG-6 pure copper cable and ran direct runs to all points in the house, 6 all together. I no longer have any splitters or cables spliced together with connectors.
That has revolved the issue. I can now get all channels clearly, the downstream signal at my modem went from -6.5 to +2 while the upstream went from 50 down to 42. I'm glad I went ahead and did it. The installation is much cleaner as I no longer have cable wires running along the floors of the bedrooms (I dropped the lines down the walls from the attic and put in cable outlets).
I have the same installation and it has been solid since I got X1 when if first came out in my marlet.
Re: X1 actor Biographies no longer available.......
So for example Comcast can/does buy certain frequencies or amounts, and at&t has so much available to them.
Its a matter of how they best use what is available to them.
I doubt the feature will return, it would take many likes or reply to the post.
A few of us complaining will do little.
i am no expert, but i do play one on tv

Re: Actor actress bio info gone?
Complaining worked, the bios are back.
Re: Cannot activate XG1v4-A. Error XRE-00251.
I'm not seeing a problem with my netflix (4 users).
