Nice.
Thanks to your movie guide tip I am watching Dazed and Confused for the 100th time.
Mistake to tell my wife. I just went from FSU/VPI to Bad Moms with a ‘are you watching this?’
Love Bad Moms.
House of Lies Kristen Bell will never be topped but still love her.
She's good in When in Rome if you like romcoms.Shes pretty delightful in forgetting sarah marshall too.
Nice.

If you press the "Guide" button twice it presents you with several options for viewing the guide, including HD Only, Sports, Movies, etc. The Movies one has a very good interface because it allows you to shuffle through what is on now, showing a visual image similar to what you would see on the cover of the DVD, what time it started, the running time, rating and Rotten Tomatoes score; and it allows you to do the same for every half-hour interval following the current time, so you can see what's coming up.What movie guide tip? Is there some double secret probation I'm not aware of ?

Before he clued me into that, I thought the only guide option was the grid showing all the channels, which you could page up or down. I find myself watching a lot more movies now that it is easier to see what is on at any given time.
Ah OK, I knew that one already, but thank you.
Xfinity isn't always the most intuitive interface so you never know
couple other great things about X1
Business trips: I dont even turn on the shoddy hotel cable packages in my room. I pull out my IPad, log into hotel wifi and watch my home subscriptions.
also on business trips: I log in to Ipad and use it to change the channels on the TV I know my wife is watching at home the time. Then I sit back and wait for the inevitable hysterical text of " you have to come home, the aliens are screwing with us again" 5 minutes later. good times.
The Good Place is tremendous and Veronica Mars was really good. She might be my favorite actress and I don't usually have favorite showbusiness peopleI agree with CL82 August and Whaler. She is talented , funny and gorgeous. Huge fan. Even her commercials are good.
August, you could be a professional pitchman for X1 and Arbys, they’re both lucky to have you!couple other great things about X1

That was the bet they were willing to make, that the X1 system with voice recognition would be so valuable to customers that they wouldn’t want to switch once their bill was out of the promotional period. I was going to Pearl Jam show Sunday Night, had a blast with my friends using the voice remote to watch concert footage on Netflix. Do you know about KidZone for your 4 year old?I have had this xfinity interface for at least a couple of years. The other game changer technology they have is the remote with voice recognition. It works so well even my 4 yo can navigate to the programs she wants. Really great technology ... Xfinity basically took everything that sucked about cable and made it a positive (except the bill, of course).
Lulz interface.
I dont even think I press buttons anymore. I can just talk into my remote for whatever I want, including pulling up youtube and netflix videos straight from the X1 platform (dont even have to enter the relevant App first!)
But there are no options...
Yep, I've done this too. Kind of jerky, but entertaining. The less subtle version is changing someones Chromecast feed. Fat guys dancing videos are a good choice.I randomly change the channel on my daughter to pass the time too. So long Disney Channel.
Have I mentioned what a great guy I think you are? Really consider you a friend/family.I’ve created 5 logins for friends and family in other states, they get to watch HBO, Showtime etc all off my account.
