Action Needed: Your TV equipment needs to be replaced

We have received emails to upgrade our tv box. At Xfinity.com/equipmentupdate it shows that we have 2 boxes. We only have one box. Identify device does not work. Then there are 2 links: Rent a new device or view compatible equipment. Nowhere does it instruct me on how to do the upgrade. The current wait time to talk to a customer service representative is over 40 minutes. I can't even call my local Xfinity store for help. I need help!

I certainly understand. I can get one out right away. Is now a good time to start the process?

Using chat was a waste of my time. I am bringing the cable box to a local Xfinity store and swapping it for a new box. I had asked that they send me a new box in chat. They said I had to approve an order form. They sent it to my home phone which is not a cell phone so I never got the message. They wanted to charge me $10 for the new box, basically holding my money hostage until they got back the old box. Then I would get a $10 credit on my next bill. There is no easy way to work with customer support anymore.
