REMOTE OVERVIEW

Introducing the Xfinity Voice Remote – only from Xfinity.
The Xfinity Voice Remote (models XR11, XR15, XR16, XRA and the Xfinity Web Remote) is a remote control that allows you to find what you want faster by using voice commands to change channels, search for shows, get recommendations and more. If you have Xfinity X1 or Xfinity Flex, you can use your voice to quickly find your favorite content, search, tune to channels and control your DVR.
