We have a new modem and a new cable box that we cannot get to work. The modem works, but not the cable box.

we were giving a new modem. We set it up. We are also given a new cable box. We took the old box out and installed the new box. We cannot get any instructions on the TV after pointing the remote at the box. Our TV goes through a receiver. How do we fix the situation

user_i7erv4 Is there an error message or code appearing on the TV screen? Did you have any issues with the modem installation, or try using the Xfinity app to set up the equipment?

Okay, thank you for that information. We can take a look further into that from here. Can you send me a direct message with the full name and complete address for your service? 

To send a direct message [private message]:

   Click the "Direct Message" icon or  https://forums.xfinity.com/direct-messaging

   Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

   The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there.

   - As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list.

   - An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line.

   Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

   Press Enter to send it
