4K box issues
I recently bundled cable and internet with Xfinity and have had nothing but issues getting the correct box sent to me. I have been sent the wrong 4K box 3 times in 3 weeks. Customer service keeps sending me the XI6-T despite me repeatedly telling them I want the standard 4K DVR box with a coax connection. Not sure what else to do here.

I am having the EXACT same issue as @user_b33316 . I have been sent the wrong X1 cable box 3 times this month, when asking for the X1 4k cable box with coaxial (per the website, it is the Arris XG1v4). I took the most recent incorrect cable box to my local XFinity Store. The representative there said that they “have been having this issue lately”, and that not only can I not swap the incorrect box for the correct one, but they do not allow orders for shipping via the Store, and that I would have to proceed with using the online Xfinity Agent chat to request another one (as I have the last 3 times to no success, even after confirming the model # with the Agent that this is what would be shipped to me, and agreeing to pay shipping, DVR up charge, and cable box monthly rental). He said that it may be an issue with the warehouse incorrectly fulfilling when they do not have the Arris XG1v4 in stock.
So my question to the forum and Xfinity Support: How can I receive an Arris XG1v4 4k cable box for Xfinity? I would love to watch my X1 cable service with 4k on my 4k tv, but Xfinity will not provide me the X1 box that supports 4k. Please let me know the best way to proceed, I am open to any ideas and suggestions at this point.

I just went through this exact same thing. Xfinity support doesn't know they have 4K cable boxes. They will tell you the flex box is the only way. It took 3 days of calling till I finally got someone that knew what I was asking for.

I have been advised by the excellent tech person I spoke to this morning to take my 2 cable boxes in to the store swap them for 4k boxes. Is there any way to know which store has the 4k boxes?
