Details on Flipper remote pairing:
While the Flipper remote is programmable and can be taught from the Spectrum Xumo remote via its Infrared (IR) signals, there are two show stoppers that I cannot find a way around. The procedure for programming the Flipper would be very similar to this video, where we programmed a One-For-All remote to work with the Xumo box ua-cam.com/video/bfyVjOM9TJM/v-deo.html
But with the Flipper, these are the two roadblocks facing it:
1. The channel up and channel down buttons do not work inside the spectrum app via the spectrum Xumo remote. So even if you program your Flipper to mimic the spectrum Xumo remote, you would lose channel flipping on the Flipper remote. The remote that comes with the Xumo box has no up-and-down channel buttons, and you would need that to start, in order to program the Flipper remote to mimic those behaviors, but they don’t exist on the source remote so there's no way I can see to program them into the Flipper remote.
2. There are not enough programmable keys on the Flipper to mimic the five basic navigation keys on the Spectrum Xumo remote that you need to operate the Xumo box. (These keys are the 4 directional arrow buttons and the center select enter button.) On the Flipper remote, you have almost everything you need, almost! Flipper has all the number buttons that you have on the spectrum xumo remote. Flipper has the volume up and down, the mute button and two dedicated buttons to select either the set top box or the TV. That leaves *only* four reprogrammable buttons on the Flipper remote, and, to make it even more confusing, two of those four available reprogrammable buttons on the Flipper are your channel up and down buttons. But even if that was something you could get used to, you would still be one button short on the Flipper: you'd be missing a button to mimic the center select enter button (from the Xumo remote) that is required to open the Spectrum App on the Xumo home screen.

    When I scroll down and click on the programming guide the screen goes to the guide but problem is the mini live screen covers up half the space and you can't read what's coming on next unless you scroll to the right. It only allows you to see one hour of programming at a time. Is there a way to customize that to where I can rearrange the mini viewing screen to the top right corner? It's is very annoying!!! Also is there a way to eliminate channels that I don't watch while I'm in the spectrum tv app? For example when I'm watching the programs I get all the nearby city local channels and pretty much all of what we had on direct t.v such as TBS, SIFI,TNT,TCM,AMC etc., but I'm having to deal with scrolling past the channels like Home shopping network or news channels or some sports channels even the audio music channels. Can I customize that list and eliminate what I will never watch?

    It still blows my mind that in 2024, Spectrum wont let you pause live TV. It's not a surprise that the service lost 200K subscribers this last quarter. While I'm glad they've moved in the direction of an AppleTV type device - it's unfortunate that they've moved backwards with customization and basic perks (like pausing live TV!)

    I haven't ordered the Xumo yet and my reasoning would be due to the fact that the regular DVR box is not recording the extra minute of programs I have set to record. How is Xumo at including the entirety of programs or do you need to select to end 1 or more minutes later as well?

    Love my Xumo Box and programming. I do have one issue, it involves the use of "favorites" on the guide setup. When I had my original setup, I could put in a favorites list, my channels and it stayed when I turned on the cable box. I have discovered that this does not happen with the XUMO guide, but my work around is to choose the favorites in the guide options. This brings my second point; when I have my favorites up, I still get a full list of channels on the guide and I have to scroll through until I get my favorites and stay within that range. If I try to delete a channel from the (extra channels) channel guide, it also deletes it from the favorites channel. Annoying! Can that be fixed either by me or do I have to wait until Spectrum Xumo updates and fixes that bug.

    I enjoyed your review! I just got this blender today. I was hoping the "Ultra Quiet" statement would hold true, but man.. It's definitely not. I made the mistake of starting it up at night while my wife & kids were asleep. They sleep at 8:30 & I wanted an avocado banana milkshake. I turn it on & boy was I QUICK to turn it off! I still had some ice left so I had to give it another few seconds to blend the rest. Thankfully, it surprisingly blended everything in under 10 seconds. 1st pulse was 4-5 seconds & same with the 2nd pulse. I know this is a blender, but dang.. It's definitely not quiet like it states & definitely do not recommend using at night. Otherwise, very happy with the end result. Hope to see other reviews!

      Thank you for the comment! Excellent point about the speed at which it blends, I agree it’s much faster than the predecessor. Completely relate to your comment about waking people up because it is loud. I have an outlet on the back porch and sometimes I go out there to blend. Ironically similar to when people used to go out to have a smoke except this is totally healthy!

    Here are XUMO's Biggest Problems: Xumo Feedback- Unless Familiar With Streaming Remotes and Devices- Keep/Ask for Traditional Box/DVR As an old school cable guy since 1985. I really hope that Spectrum continues with traditional boxes and standard DVR's for years to come. The streaming remote on my Samsung TV is a nightmare to use, which is one of the many reasons why we still love cable TV. Everything in one place, and navigation that has been a staple and easy to use for customers for decades. Sadly, if Spectrum ever totally dropped support for a traditional DVR, they would very likly be forced to lose a customer since 1985. Me. Here's why: 1.) I have medical issues and live with an elderly person also with medical issues. She can't work a steaming remote. And for me it is a challenge and I am literally a cable tech guy! I have never been able to warm up to streaming. If you go with a streaming vendor you have to sign up for 2-3 providers to give all the variety that cable TV gibes you. 2.) Caller ID on TV with Spectrum Voice and a traditional cable box is critical, and a must have. Xumo does not have Caller ID on TV. 3.) A customer told me today that when his Clickr Backlite remote gave out, (Great remote!) he went to a Spectrum Store to exchange it and said, "They aren't giving that remote anymore." He had an older DCX 3400 box and the office gave him an XUMO remote. It took days for him to try to figure out how to program that streaming remote online, for a legacy IR device. He was so frustrated because he can't FF/RW.Pause on the remote or even pause live TV. I said, get a truck roll by saying that you can't pause fast forward or rewind on your DVR and have the tech bring you a traditional DVR box and remote. He is considering doing this. He hates the XUMO. He might take his DCX 3400 box back to the store, and get a World Box. and a World Box Renote. 4.) There is no last channel recall button on the XUMO. A button that my family and millions of customers use all the time. You have to keep flip flopping between the guide and the app, and On Demand on an XUMO, instead of simply pushing one button. 5.) Customers are still having issues with an auto shutoff on the Xumo after 4 hours of activity. This feature can be easily disabled on a traditional set top box or DVR. 6) Xumo often locks up and the only way to solve that is by unplugging it. Reset functions often do not work. 7.) I encourage all customers who hate the Xumo to swap out their boxes for regular set tops or DVR's. Menu naviations are easier. remote is easier to use. the traditional boxes are more reliable. 8.) New customers must request a traditional cable box or DVR when ordering cable TV for the first time. Tell sales that you don't want the XUMO, unless you are really tech savvy and are familiar with streaming remotes and devices. Jack

      I do still have it. Overall it’s good. The battery is at about 20 minutes per use. I should replace them with newer longer lasting batteries. The overall experience is good but there are two things I’m considering replacing it for: 1) wet snow - it can’t work with wet snow and 2) snowbanks drain the battery and are not easy for this or any 2 stage snow blower. I need a 3stage really for these snowbanks which are easily 2 feet of dense snow. Otherwise not in bad shape for being used every winter. And no maintenance is awesome, honestly I don’t even think about it until I need to use it which is a good thing from a maintenance perspective.

    Can you receive local channels with Xumo?

    • @puttothetest
      @puttothetest 15 днів тому

      One way is to, within the Spectrum app on Xumo, subscribe to the Spectrum plan which includes local channels ($$). Other apps may offer local channels too like Sling, UA-camTv, etc. also there is no direct antenna in the Xumo box so it can’t natively receive over-the-air channels.

    Hello, Iwas wondering if you could build a video trying to pair a "flipper " brand remote to a xumo box. I own a nursing home and we are having a rough time using the remote. I was there was a simple remote for this senior population. The flipper brand remote works awesome with spectrum cable box but is not compatible with xumo box they say. Maybe u can Crack the code

    • @puttothetest
      @puttothetest 18 днів тому

      I will do some digging

    • @puttothetest
      @puttothetest 15 днів тому

      @TeichmeierBoys While the Flipper remote is programmable and can be taught from the Spectrum Xumo remote via its Infrared (IR) signals, there are two show stoppers that I cannot find a way around. The procedure for programming the Flipper would be very similar to this video, where we programmed a One-For-All remote to work with the Xumo box ua-cam.com/video/bfyVjOM9TJM/v-deo.html But with the Flipper, these are the two roadblocks facing it: 1. The channel up and channel down buttons do not work inside the spectrum app via the spectrum Xumo remote. So even if you program your Flipper to mimic the spectrum Xumo remote, you would lose channel flipping on the Flipper remote. The remote that comes with the Xumo box has no up-and-down channel buttons, and you would need that to start, in order to program the Flipper remote to mimic those behaviors, but they don’t exist on the source remote so there's no way I can see to program them into the Flipper remote. 2. There are not enough programmable keys on the Flipper to mimic the five basic navigation keys on the Spectrum Xumo remote that you need to operate the Xumo box. (These keys are the 4 directional arrow buttons and the center select enter button.) On the Flipper remote, you have almost everything you need, almost! Flipper has all the number buttons that you have on the spectrum xumo remote. Flipper has the volume up and down, the mute button and two dedicated buttons to select either the set top box or the TV. That leaves *only* four reprogrammable buttons on the Flipper remote, and, to make it even more confusing, two of those four available reprogrammable buttons on the Flipper are your channel up and down buttons. But even if that was something you could get used to, you would still be one button short on the Flipper: you'd be missing a button to mimic the center select enter button (from the Xumo remote) that is required to open the Spectrum App on the Xumo home screen. Hope that is helpful in some way.

      In the spectrum app you can get locals by paying for a higher price plan which has locals included. I didn’t do this because I didn’t wanna pay for them and didn’t mind switching between the spectrum app and my antenna. I bought a cheap antenna and that seems to work pretty well. It is a hassle to go between the two, but it’s not a huge hassle. Here is a review of the antenna, if it helps: ua-cam.com/video/cuCjlg0Ipy0/v-deo.htmlsi=T5hG6wQkOLNn6IX6
