That is not working. The XiDs do not see the X1 at all. The box the units came in has DTA on the front. Is it possible I was given the wrong version? Isn't there an IP client version? I also received the black remote, not the silver.
DTA's are one way communication devices and do not connect/use the X1 equipment in any way. DTA's are approximately the size of a box of large playing cards.
X1 DVRs have 6 tuners (most). Most of us agree that if you add more than one XiD that you add an XG2 since it has 3 tuners it can loan to the other XiD equipment leaving your XG1 DVR's tuners available for recording. If you take one of the XiD units back to Comcast and request an XG2 to allow you to record 6 channels at one time.
