Improving IR Reception for Ignite & Xfinity Mini Boxes
Ignite and Xfinity sometimes use compact cable boxes with a small IR receiver located at the front center bottom edge.
To ensure your remote signals are received properly:
- Pull the box forward so it slightly overhangs the shelf;
- This improves the line of sight and enhances IR reception.;
- Make sure we are at least 4-5 feet away so the IR signal can spread out;
- Activate IR in the Box: As a last resort, some boxes may need to have the IR Activated in the Box. Use Xfinity Remote: Menu-Settings-Remote Control-Activate IR (or something similar).
