We've added new features to your Comcast On-Screen Program Guide and DVR Service
that make watching what you want easier and more enjoyable than ever.
New Program Guide Features
Watch in HD*
The new Watch in HD button provides you with one-click access from the Smart Bar to your favorite programs in High-Def (when available).
If the show you're watching is also airing in HD on another channel, you'll see the icon on the Program Info. Just press OK/Select and you'll tune directly to that channel.
*HD cable box required. True HD viewing also requires HDTV.
On Demand
Skip Ahead/Skip Back*
For On Demand viewing: Want to jump past the opening credits? Forget to hit Pause and need to jump back? Quickly skip ahead or back in 5-minute increments using the Page Up (skip ahead) and Page Down (skip back) arrows on your remote. It's a faster fast-forward!
*Works with On Demand, AnyRoom On Demand and Comcast DVR service.

Caller ID to the TV*
Part of the Universal Caller ID service for Triple Play customers, Caller ID to the TV puts the caller's name and number right on your screen, without interrupting what you're watching. Decide if it's worth answering the phone without missing a minute of your show. No guesswork required!
*Requires Comcast Digital Cable, Comcast Digital Voice® and Comcast High-Speed Internet service.
Important: New On-Screen Program Guide features may not be immediately available in every market.

*Digital Cable with DVR service and Comcast High-Speed Internet (with Comcast.net User Name and Password) required.
DVR Search & Record
Now you can create wish lists of your favorite actors, directors, keywords and titles. Just enter a search term today (ex: Eastwood, Clint) and your DVR can automatically search for and schedule recordings for programs relating to "Clint Eastwood" as they're added to your program guide in the future. Or simply select what you want to record now from the search results.
DVR Skip Ahead/Skip Back*
For DVR users: Want to jump past the opening credits of a recording? Forget to his Pause and need to jump back? Quickly skip ahead or back in 5-minute increments using the Page Up (skip ahead) and Page Down (skip back) arrows on your remote. It even works when watching live TV after five or more minutes have been saved in the cache.
*Works with On Demand, AnyRoom On Demand and Comcast DVR service.
DVR Auto-Correction
As you fast forward or rewind a DVR recording, this feature will automatically adjust for that split-second delay between hand-eye coordination and the stopping point. Depending on how fast you are fast forwarding or rewinding, your DVR will add or subtract a tad of time to auto-correct to what it determines is the logical spot to resume playback.
Important: All new DVR features require Comcast Digital Cable with DVR service.
DVR Folders
Folders make it easy to see and manage programs on your DVR. And they're automatically created when you record more than one episode of a series. Like "Friends?" Simply go to the "Friends" folder to see all the episodes that you've recorded on one page of the Guide.
DVR History
Ever have your DVR re-record a program after you've watched and deleted it? With DVR History, your DVR will remember what you've already watched and avoid re-recording. You'll also see the date a program was deleted or why it didn't record.
DVR Clean Up
Now you can select multiple recordings and delete them all at once—that's a huge timesaver!
Important: All new DVR features require Comcast Digital Cable with DVR service.
