How to change Comcast xfinity R15 remote control batteries

Here is how to open your Comcast xfinity XR15-UQ (R15) remote control and relace the batteries! There are no on-line directions and no manual pics, so i made this video to help YOU 😊

[@johndickie5577]

I thought I was stupid until I saw others on here just like me. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, look how many people are so grateful to you.

[@ronco3819]

Thank you so much....at 70 yrs old, I often feel very technologically challenged...this was one of the best DIY videos I've seen....Know that you are appreciated by this Senior Citizen! ❤

[@TheDarkNStormyKnight]

More than 3 years later, this still still helpful and relevant. Thank you.

[@nancyanderson7921]

Great. Thank you

[@karenpetersen2573]

Thank you for your instructions on this remote. It sure worked for me (82 yrs. old).

[@changama425]

As of April 2023, it still works. Excellent post! Thank you!

[@weedoeladyhill5540]

Thank you...struggled for 2 hours, called my provider and he told me to go to you tube and your video showed me how....such a totally user unfriendly remote battery changer

[@mofo7689]

After staring at it for 30 mins, my brains kicked in. I found your video and reduced the problem from a mountain to not even a speed bump. thank you.

[@joannetombrakos9712]

Thank you for this! I have been trying to figure out how to change these batteries and was utterly perplexed. Trying to get someone on the phone at Xfinity is a nightmare and the chatbots they have are useless. They should pay you for doing their job! Thanks again!

[@norwoodwildlife9849]

G-D bless you, you saved me from throwing my remote through the wall.

[@del19803]

Terrific. The best method.

[@bosnurdley5207]

I'm pretty good at figuring things out, but this thing was driving me nuts. If I hadn't watched this video I don't think I would have ever figured it out. It is so easy when you see how it's done. Thank you, for showing us how.

[@revivalharpsichord5078]

THANK YOU!!! I was going through exactly what you described, because the appearance of the back is so misleading. You'd think they could put an arrow or some clear indication on the back, but of course they didn't bother. Your video is a lifesaver!

[@vedanthams]

Thanks a million. I was struggling for an hour and we were about to throw the remote out of the window!

[@susangoeller5266]

I though I was OK stupid,. You made it so easy without making me feel dumber then I was feeling. A big Thank You! to you!!!

[@danieldibiaso9342]

Thanks a lot for the video. I volunteer at a resale shop and I check all the appliances that have batteries and I have never seen one like this and without your help I would have spent a while trying to figure this one out. Thanks for saving me some time.

[@carolrhodes]

Thank you! I'm a widow and rarely can figure stuff out. You are an angel

[@jamesred9743]

thanks, I might have a BA degree but I needed your video to prevent me from smashing this damn thing to pieces. I tired every way but the right way and needed this video. Great job! Thanks

[@terrinielsen7803]

Batteries needed : 2 - AA batteries.... Peanut 4610 you are a gem...! Now I don't need to stress over how I'm gonna resuscitate my TV remote - it's been flashing : low batteries at me....

[@wonderwoman3138]

Thank you so much Peanut4610, Comcast should pay you for your service. I have an XR11 but it flips off just the same. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

[@marypowell606]

OMG###!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!.YOU SHOULD GET PAID A LOT FOR THIS VIDEO....Absolutely no directions came with the little folder with the manual!!!

[@carolmccagueca786]

Thank you - I tried and tried and looked and looked in the manual and online for instructions on the remote and other than the how to use it to watch tv - there is nothing about how to change the batteries - when the time comes. So - thanks to you now I know and presto - I followed your directions and it worked!!

[@jrdriver5729]

Thank you!!!! I stared at it and said just how do you replace them?!?! Great video!

[@dcisajoke]

Thank you so much for making this video! I couldn't find instructions anywhere.

[@cindyaissis2103]

Thank you so much!! I felt like an idiot after fidgeting with it for two days!

[@teamrenegades2361]

Thank you!! I cannot BELIEVE how user unfriendly the battery changing is. You would think they’d have a marketing or consumer department that would have prevented this. Again- thank you so much for this video! My “package rage” is now gone.

[@marypowell606]

THANK YOU ......YOU SAVED ME FROM BLOWING UP MY DARN COMCAST BOX!!!

[@eileenfile6157]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This was the most confusing thing. Your youtube helped so so much!

[@ritaeh8794]

THANK YOU!! I was so aggravated trying to open this. Never before have I had trouble opening a remote cover. Geez. Appreciate it.

[@patisrael2421]

Thanks so much. My day from Hell has improved now that I watched your video and was able to quickly change the batteries. Now on to the other crappy stuff I have to deal with.

[@cindyaissis2103]

Thank you so cmuch!! I felt like an idiot after fidgeting with it for two days!

[@donaldsell8432]

Thanks. Now we need a video how to operate the damn thing!

[@deniselevesque1866]

Thank you! What a pain , I even had my manual but it wasn’t on it ! Have a great day!

[@maryharris436]

Thank you sooooooo much. I could not figure that out at all. Looked on web site for help, nothing. Yeah for UA-cam! Thank you again.

[@catherinecastillo9749]

Thank you for the very helpful video to remove the Xfinity R15 remote control plate cover!

[@chi2twn]

Thank you. It's so simple when you can find someone who KNOWS!

[@trifectawinnings7755]

Thank you!! I started to get a butter knife to pry it open but thought " this is 2020, that should not be necessary".

[@lvan4407]

Very much so I had a hard time finding anyone that would help me even shaw support was no use

[@berniceboudreau292]

Thank you sooooo very much!!!!You saved my husband and my day!!!😊😊

[@margolacasse4446]

Thank God for you !! and UA-cam !!! Anytime I have a question UA-cam is my #1 place to go !!

[@ciaobella0912]

For the love of Gawd, I'm pretty tech savvy, I shouldn't have to look up YT to figure this-LOL!!. Thnx sooo much!!

[@terrylodise5360]

Thank God for you!!!! We would NEVER have gotten it open without you.

[@jonny5isalive353]

72k views should let xfinity know that they should make the remotes more user friendly lol.... thanks for the video, easy once you know how it works..

[@robertalbert6175]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video! It was extremely helpful!

[@st.johnspresbyterianchurch228]

[@shep9926]

Thank you. I can rebuild an engine but without your help I could not have figured this out without breaking it from frustration.

[@CCWOST]

[@jpink8546]

Thank you!!! I would never have figured that out.

[@michaelsolo2923]

[@chriscastro8908]

Thank you so much I was trying to figure out for 20 minutes lol

[@chickman275]

Thank you!! The Cox user manual did not explain this, and their tech support referred me to the user manual...

[@cjhathaway255]

Thank you! I came very close to ripping off that top piece!

[@patriciamangis4879]

Thank you . I was spinning my wheels! 📺

[@DianeDAmbra]

Thank you so much you changed my world!

[@MOSHIGHProductions]

Thanks for your helpful video. I did find that I could just press down on that short raised line on the back and the battery compartment opened immediately.

[@susangibson9009]

[@Meh-us9by]

[@Xfranman]

Well done. Thank you. There should be info on the remote itself like arrows and colors.

[@sadegur]

Thank you so much….. I was feeling rather dumb. ❤

[@joenavejas3304]

Thank you so much. I struggled using logic until I saw your video!

[@bombaymascot]

Thank you, thank you, thank you .... from Ontario, Canada !

[@specialhandscreations2688]

OMG!!! You just made it so freakin simple!! All instructions on the net tell you a bunch of crap when they could have saved many remotes from being banged on the table, thrown on the floor, thrown across the room, etc!!!! (JK) Thank you so much for making my afternoon much simpler!! Now I just realized I'm out of batteries!!! Geeeeeeez......

[@baileyberg9005]

Many thanks for your help. Your instructions were great.

[@nancykelly9393]

Thank you so much, used this today for a newer model. It was very clear. You truly have done a service!

[@davidhackett7106]

I was about five minutes away from posting a video about what damage this remote can do to drywall.

It's a tricky one. Love the quality of this remote

[@copperbuttons7376]

Wow, thank you! I would never have figured out how to change the batteries for this goofy remote. It is definitely not intuitive (and so different from all my other remotes) but your video make it super easy. Love your "accent". Are you from Delaware County?
