RDK - 03117

Ever since new service started a year ago, I get this error message on only one of 5 TVs. I have done as requested many times and yet still get error message. With tornado watches and warning yesterday - I went to the basement. This is where this TV is. I never felt SAFE loosing TV connection for hours. Please fix!

Hey @user_oa9rlp Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to reach out regarding the error on the cable box. I would be more than happy to offer my assistance looking into this further for you. Is this particular box far away from the gateway?

user_oa9rlp Great question, the gateway is your internet equipment. We wanted to know the distance from your internet device to the video box.
