We're making improvements. Learn important information about your X1 DVR service.
Six simultaneous recordings
Xfinity lets you record up to six programs at one time. Learn how to manage your DVR's scheduled recordings, including prioritizing those most important to you.
DVR storage
Record approximately 150 hours of HD programming on each X1 DVR TV Box. You have two options to protect your recordings:
How to keep your recordings
- Save the recordings that matter most by marking them with Save for One Year. Learn how with step-by-step instructions for your X1 remote, Xfinity Stream app and Xfinity Stream portal.
- To make space for new recordings, delete recordings that you have already viewed or no longer need.
- If you have upcoming scheduled recordings, you may want to reduce your number of stored recordings further to ensure you have space for your new recordings.
- If your stored recordings were getting full, a letter was sent to you with a target % to get under to make sure you don't lose your recordings.
- To see your current storage %, press the xfinity button on your remote, then click Saved, then Recordings. You will see the % full at the top-right of the screen, listed above your recorded programs.
Xfinity On Demand
Remember that we offer a wide variety of On Demand programming. We feature an extensive collection of shows and movies that are available to watch at any time, so there's no need to use your DVR to watch them. The shows or movies you've recorded may be available On Demand.
