How do I order a channel on Comcast?

Swapping channels while recording on one with Comcast DVR?

  • Hi there, I have a Comcast DVR. Right now, I'm watching a program that I am also currently recording. When I go to change the channel, I get a message that says, "Stop recording and change channel - or - Continue recording and don't change channel." I know that there is a way to use the swap button on the remote in order to change channels, but I can't remember how. Can anyone help me. I've been trying to get through to Comcast all night, but they just keep me on hold. Thanks! Katie

  • Answer:

    Just press the Swap button on the remote to swap channels. Seriously, it is that simple. The other person who answered is right. If after pressing the Swap button, you still get these notifications, it may mean that you are recording two programs at the same time.

Hi Katie, we have a DVR through Comcast as well. There may be two problems- if you are recording two programs at once, you cant change the channel on live TV, you can only watch something you already recorded (the message will come up to change channel and cancel recording or not) Or, if you manually pushed record, you cant change the channel. If you set a show to record automatically before the show comes on you can change the channel. If you just pushed record while show was on, you cant change channel. Hope this helps!!! :)
