How to get a Xfinity 4k - XG1v4 Cable Box?

I have an X1 plan and just purchased a 4K TV and would like to change from current XG2v2 standard HD to a 4K XG1v4 box.  How do I go about the exchange?

Hi @Shagerdash, @DannyPe, and @BWeb! Thanks for using the Xfinity Forum to request a 4K DVR. If you haven't received one yet, feel free to send a private message including your first and last name and the numbers associated with your service address.

@ComcastChe - I have this same issue and to say the least its been a nightmare trying to get my HD box swapped out for a 4k one. Been to two stores without success and eventually referred to go online. Agent lied to me the box had been shipped but really did nothing. Very frustrating experience overall.

Hello Team,

I have experienced quite a fun experience of sending and receiving boxes with xfinity via the online chat and phone calls. I have been unable to get the correct box for 4K content. Now online chat claims that are unable to send the boxes and my local store also is unable to get the 4K box. Running out of options. Please help.

Thank you!

Hi Comcast,

 

I recently signed up for Comcast service and am very happy with the content and apps.  I have a XG1v3 DVR box and the fan inside the box is noisy and loud, sounds like it is malfunctioning, and drowns out the volume of the television at reasonable levels.  I would like to inquire on the feasibility of getting the newer XG1v4 box that supports 4k for my televion and also has no fan and a solid state hard drive with no moving parts.  Please inform me on the best possible way to upgrade to this XG1v4 device via a standard shipping method.

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

I tried ordering a XG1v4 box to replace my XG1 about a month ago. I was told it was ordered but it never arrived. I called back later and a different rep told me the order was not approved.  Can someone from Xfinity help clear this up. I have a 4K tv and would like to get 4K content.

Please try to search for 'Xfinity Support' instead (after clicking on the chat icon) and see if you're able to initiate a chat with us that way. Sorry about that!

Hello,

I just signed up for Xfinity yesterday and my installer mentioned that I would need to reach out to customer service to get 4K boxes.

He did not have any and was not aware I had 4K TV's.

Please assist, thanks!
