Prioritize recordings on your X1 DVR

With Xfinity X1, you can record up to six programs in your home simultaneously and even watch another program – whether it's a pre-recorded show, a live program or an Xfinity On Demand program.

If there's a scheduling conflict, the recording with the highest priority is recorded. The recordings are prioritized as:

  • More recently scheduled one-time recordings have higher priority than less recently scheduled one-time recordings.
  • More recently scheduled series recordings have higher priority than less recently scheduled series recording.
  • One-time recordings have higher priority than series recordings.

Follow the guidelines below to access the Series Priority setting and change the priority of a scheduled recording.

Using the Series Priority setting

  1. Select Saved on the Main Menu.
