Hi @user_y5pttl. Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. I would love to help troubleshoot the streaming box. Is this one of our Xfinity Stream Box devices or one of our Xfinity X1 set-top boxes for our Xfinity Video service? When reviewing your services online using the Xfinity App, do you see the streaming device listed under your current services? This will help us determine if the equipment is on the account or old account. Hope to hear from you soon.

Sounds like you have one of our powerful Xumo Steaming Boxes @user_y5pttl. With it showing within the Xfinity App, it doe appear that it successfully transferred over to the new account. Are you able to access the menu to follow the steps for a factory restore? The steps are as followed: Go to Settings > System management > Resets & updates on your Xumo Stream Box.
