  • Inside Comcast’s New Super-DVR, the X1 [PhillyMag] “The aesthetics are striking. Gone are the bulky metal DVR set-top boxes; the X1 has a sleek black design with a green-ringed power button reminiscent of Microsoft’s Xbox. The remote is smaller, too, by precisely 23 buttons, thanks largely to data that showed which ones we use the most (all info, I was assured, was compiled anonymously and in the aggregate).” We first heard about X1 when CEO Brian Roberts talked about it at a Phillymag event.
