Comcast offers a large-button remote to customers free of charge upon request. The large-button remote is a third-party device that delivers improved readability of the remote keys and may be easier to use for our customers who are elderly, blind or have low vision or a visual disability and other customers with disabilities.
The large-button remote:
- Is simple to program.
- Can operate two devices at once, such as your TV Box and television.
- Is pre-programmed to work with: Comcast's Motorola TV Boxes and TV Adapters.
- Is compatible with the Xfinity X1 TV Box.
Comcast provides this remote at no additional charge for our customers and offers help and support for using it, though we do not manufacture the device. The remote control requires installation of four AA batteries (included).
