With the Xfinity TV Remote app, you can use your smartphone or tablet as a remote control: change the channel, program your DVR or search Xfinity On Demand and TV listings - all with a simple tap on the screen. You can even schedule DVR recordings when you're away from home. Your TV is now right in your hands.
