Error XRE-03121 on XiD-P

Started getting error code XRE-0321 on a XiD-P cable box several weeks ago.  I have three cable boxes (each a different model), and this problem occurs only on this one cable box.  It effects all channels.  However, when I hit the Xfinity button and go to Apps, I can still receive Netflix and other streaming apps.  Researching this problem through Xfinity Assistant suggested two solutions that worked once:

1.  Do a System Refresh

2.  Unplug the cable box for 2 minutes and plug it back in.

Each of these solutions worked once.  Then after a couple of days the error returned.  Once, the problem cleared by itself, but the problem returned after a day or so.  So, I went to a Xfinity retail store and swapped out the box for a new XiD-P box.  The new box has the identical problem. 

I have called Xfinity support several times about this error code.  A couple of times the agent was able to clear the problem, but as usual, in a couple of days the same error returned.  The agents were unclear about exactly what they did to clear the error.

I have seen this problem reported on multiple Forum complaints but have found no suggested solution that actually works.

Rick_09357. I can understand how frustrating this has been, especially after completing multiple system refreshes, restarting the equipment, contacting support several times, and even replacing the XiD-P box, only to have the XRE-0321 error keep returning. Since the issue is isolated to this box and continues even after the equipment was replaced, we’d like to take a deeper look rather than have you repeat troubleshooting that has only provided a temporary fix. Could you please send our team a Direct Message with your name and service address? Our team can take a further look at this issue.

A Xfinity repair person came today.  She said the main TV box was not "staged".  She replaced my existing XG1v4-A box with an XG2v2-P box.  Immediately after this new XG2 box was installed, the XRE-03121 error cleared from my XiD-P box.   Hopefully, this fixes the problem.
