Hello @user_rfqy4z, Thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave a post. Sorry to hear that you are having issues activating your Apple TV through the X1. When you try activating the Apple TV is it giving you an error message? Have you tried unplugging the box for 20 seconds, then plugging it back in and trying?

There is no box. It is the Xfinity stream app. I'm going to activate-apple-tv-plus and when processing it says "there was an error. Please try later"
