Even relaxing and watching TV at night has become perfection.. no more need to search for your cell phone to light up the remote. With a backlit keyboard and aim-anywhere control, it has never been easier to navigate with ease, even in the dark.

The voice remote is another example of XFINITY’s commitment to accessibility for all. By giving the options to simply say, “Turn on Closed Captioning” or to use voice guidance, everyone can find his or her favorite shows and movies.

The remote even has some fun “hidden” features…it recognizes hundreds of popular movie quotes! For example, if you tell your voice remote, “If you build it, he will come,” it will find the movie Field of Dreams. Rumor has it that you can even find Frozen by singing along with some of its hits…Let it Go, anyone? See which ones you can find and let me know!

Even funner is the fact that you can even hear from your favorite celebs! responded back when you searched for their content?

Yep – the XFINITY Voice Remote can do that too! Try searching for “Taylor Swift 22” and see what she responds. You can find more hacks and cool features of the Voice Remote here. As well as check out this video on all the great features here:

    I like the fact that it has a light up keyboard. I am always searching around for that reomote in the evenings when it’s really right in front of me. This will make it so much more easier to find.

  4. David Fultner says

    I like that it it recognizes hundreds of popular movie quotes.

  8. Julie Bickham says

    I like that you can ask what is on at 9:00 tonight and it list everything.

  12. Andrea Williams says

    I think it would be a lot of fun to say famous movie quotes and see if it recognizes them.

  17. M.Clark says

    My favorite feature about the new Voice Control from Xfinity is that it allows users to search through and watch tens of thousands of shows and movies by simply talking into the remote.

  18. Sarah L says

    I like the backlit keyboard. Much better than what I have.
    Thanks for the contest.

  22. Cathy French says

    My favorite feature of the voice control is that you can find an actor or your favorite director by just saying their name

  24. Sandy Klocinski says

    I think the voice feature is pretty neat and think it could be expanded to the physical remote via a small microphone. It has voice control and also operates by infrared. The concept is great

  27. Kimberly O says

    OMG! I busted out laughing at the movie quote feature! My husband is FOREVER quoting movies & asking me what movie they are from. Half the time I don’t know – now I can find them!! HAHA! Thanks!

  29. Ashley C says

    I love how easy it is to use! Voice recognition is so much more convenient that doing things manually!

  32. Debbi Wellenstein says

    I like that this remote understands plain English, as I don’t speak “Techno”.

  36. Anastasia Falling says

    I love all the “hidden” features! Anything that expands the usability, even in a novel way, is always a bonus in my book 🙂

  37. Jean D. says

    I’m a movie nut, and love to quote lines from films I love. Xfinity not only will help me identify them, but will help me quote them RIGHT.

    Thanks for a generous giveaway!

  43. Crystal F says

    I really like all of the fun features. I think it’s neat that you can find a show or movie by using quotes from the movie or show. I think my girls would have a lot of fun with that. Thank you!

  47. Anita k says

    The light up keyboard is the best.no more searching.thanks so much for sharing.

  50. Kelly says

    I love that it is voice activated. That is so cool. I watch TV in the dark a lot, especially movies. It would be fun to not have to fumble around in the dark.

  51. christine burd says

    My favorite feature is the backlit keyboard and aim anywhere control. I need that extra light to see efficiently

  53. Geoff K says

    I love the “hidden” features like using lines from movies to search for them or to hear from celebrities. How fun!

  55. Laura C says

    I love how easy it is to find movies now – just tell it with your voice? brilliant.

  60. Alison Tolar says

    I like that it recognizes movie quotes. That is really neat and a fun feature.

  61. Tina W says

    Love love love that it can help find the remote. (which gets misplaced in my house every other day)

  63. Tarah says

    I like that it has a ton of movie quotes stored on it so you can just say one of the quotes from the movie you want to watch, and it will find it for you.

  67. clynsg says

    The best thing is the ‘lit up’ background–miserable trying to see in dim light otherwise!

  68. Liz Ticona says

    Definitely the movie quote feature, there are so many times where I can remember quotes from a movie and not the title or name of actors so this would be extremely helpful 🙂

  72. Monique Rizzo says

    The movie quote feature is pretty darn neat. Thanks for the chance.

  75. Carly D. says

    I love that it helps find our remote because ours always seems to be somewhere in between cushions.

  76. Michelle H. says

    I like how it can find what you are looking for with the voice remote.

  78. Karen Drake says

    I like the light up keyboard, my vision is poor and this would be a great feature for me.

    I love that it recognizes hundreds of popular movie quotes! Very cool

    I think this new Voice Control from Xfinity remote is excellent for having some fun with it’s hidden features like finding movies using movie quotes and even songs. How fun!

  88. Michelle W says

    I like that you can use it to find shows. I get annoyed finding the search screen and using up and down arrows for every letter until I spell out the name of the show.

  93. Melly says

    The movie quote thing is the best! I would really get a kick out of that, I think.

  97. Barbara Fox says
