To be fair the "X1" has a much better UI/UX and digital buttons. Plus the voice search (you talk into the remote) works exceptionally well. There is no lag. I might say I actually like it. I was shocked that it came from comcast.

They actually have some comcast lab product where you can play games using your smartphone as the controller. I think it's beta but it wasn't that bad when I tried NBA Jam.
