Programming your Xfinity remote to the TV should not take more than a minute or two. Below, we have shared the steps for all Xfinity remote models.
Although Xfinity XR11 is a voice remote, you can use voice commands to program it to your TV. Instead, you will have to use the setup button. Before you start programming the remote, make sure it has batteries inside. Also, make sure both the TV and the cable box are turned on.
Here are the steps you need to follow:
- Press and hold the “Setup” button until the LED light changes from red to green.
- Now, type in the required TV code. You can find it on the Remote Control Code Lookup page.
- If the code you entered is correct, the status LED will flash green twice. Otherwise, it will blink red meaning the code is incorrect.
- If the code is incorrect, try another code. Repeat this process until you found the correct code.
You can now use your Xfinity remote to perform various operations on your TV.
