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.
