What happens if I schedule a recording from Xfinity TV Sports Remote and there are already recordings scheduled?
The Xfinity TV Sports Remote treats games as high priority on the DVR. If your DVR is set already the app will schedule the game to record with all the DVR defaults in place.
Why is the Watch Game / Watch Channel button not working?
The Watch Game / Watch Channel button changes the TV channel. This service requires software to be loaded and working on the actual cable box. These buttons might not work if the cable box has been unplugged recently (in the past 6-8 hours). Waiting the six hours typically fixes this problem if the cable box has been power cycled recently.
