23.976 Hz frame rate

Does Xfinity offer any boxes that produce 23.976hz frame rate?

@Greygoos3, thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here via Community Forums. Out of curiosity, are you asking for a box with that specific frame rate due to your own equipment?

@billmich88  We want to be sure we fully understand your needs which is why we asked for more details on what you are trying to accomplish, are you trying to determine whether our box is compatible with specific equipment?

@XfinityMarcus​ Yes, there is equipment that home theater enthusiasts need 23.976hz. Do any of the Xfinity boxes provide 23.976hz that I could try?

@Greygoos3​ I'm a HTE, I have a 5.1 (refuse to do 7/9 or atmos), with a 65" 4K running 120FPS VRR. I've never heard of a set up requiring 23 frames per second so you may be a professional, or appreciate the older style movies. What is that speed for exactly? I always like to learn more about the best set up possible, and shopped for ever to get 120FPS VRR on a 65 inch. I do enjoy the soap opera effect though, I'm a gamer and the smoother the better in my home. 120FPS looks amazing to me for everything lol. 

For your question, the current generations of boxes can handle:
16:9, 1080p60 HD
For a 4K TV, select the option that matches the highest resolution frame rate of the TV. They include:
16:9, 2160p30 4K UHD
16:9, 2160p60 4K UHD (Best Available)

MadVR has an issue accepting Xfinity cable boxes so it can be linked up with a projector using a MadVR for video processing. 
Since my screen is a 2.35 ratio 158”. The Xfinity is the only media that I have that the MadVR will not accept. Even the software version on AppleTV and other media devices won’t be accepted by the MadVR. I need a 23.976hz refresh rate for the MadVR to enhance and optimize the image to fit my 2.35 ratio screen. 
That is why and beyond the point. The question was do any of the Xfinity products provide 23.976hz images?

@Greygoos3 we do not have any TV boxes that meet your 23.976hz image requirements.

Tsk, tsk! You can't really call yourself an HTE without some familiarity with 24 FPS weirdness. For reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24p#23.976p.

Asking the OP's question another way, can any cable boxes do 24 FPS?

@BruceW​ Thanks for the insights, and yup I won't go anywhere that low of a frame rate. I do so for my eyes, and I just don't enjoy the jutter on an expensive setup. Makes me want to go back to a tube tv and 480 for that frame rate. I like how you say the weirdness ha. Stuff like that on older setups looks amazing to this day though. However, I upscale everything to the max, no matter what Tom Cruise says :). 

Also, I like Atmos and Imax, but not for my set up at home. I personally prefer 5.1 for overall emersion and simplicity. Once home media supports Atmos correctly, I may upgrade in the future. Glad I was able to help with the frame rates I posted for the boxes.
