The Comcast Xfinity TV App doesn't work with a Comcast DVR with the TiVo Upgrade.
Comcast DVR with the TiVo Upgrade
You'd think that early adopters of an advanced user interface would get Xfinity iPad/iPhone App support.
You can schedule recordings online for the Comcast DVR with the TiVo Upgrade. What's the difference between using the Comcast Xfinity TV App?
Customer support told me that I'd have to downgrade my Comcast DVR, removing the TiVo Upgrade to allow the Comcast Xfinity TV App to work.
Seems like a programming issue to me.
Can I get some clarification? A timetable?
TWITTER UPDATE:
When will it work with TiVo? Thanks. RT @ComcastBill: @stevegarfield Correct it does not work with Tivo

@stevegarfield I can honestly say I'm not sure.
