You can use it to change channels, turn the volume up or down, fast forward or pause your DVR, and more. It’s also universal, so you can program it to work with most TVs and cable boxes.

If you have an Xfinity remote and the buttons are not responding or performing as expected, you may need to perform a reset to get the remote working again. Steps are provided below to walk you through this process.
