I just got my new Xfinity home control 100 package SIK today and I got the system up and running. I put the hub (Netgear ASG 1100) next to my DirecTV wireless Cinema Connection Kit. My question is having two wireless devices close together like that going to cause interference.
I could not find much info on the ASG 1100 on the internet but I did find it has a ZigBee transceiver in it. The reason I put it in that location is lack of available outlets to plug it into so I ran a long ethernet cord to from the router to the stand where I store my laptops. The DirecTV CCK was there already.

Everything is so far so good. Install had some hiccups related to the browser cache. I plan on adding a light switch for the front porch light and a couple of lighting controllers for the lamps. I wish I could do the thermostats but my heating electric baseboards that feed 240 volts through the thermostats.

I've experienced ImOn (when they were McLeod USA), Mediacom, Comcast, and Time Warner and I currently have DirecTV. They are much better than broadcast TV.
I have not and will not cut the cord.
