What is an Xfinity Remote?
An Xfinity remote is a unique controller that is included in your Xfinity TV service. It’s a handy tool that lets you turn your TV on and off, change channels, adjust the volume, and even record your favorite shows.
Xfinity has different types of remotes, like:
– XR11 remote (with or without voice control)
– XR15 remote

Each one works differently, but they all help you control your TV.
