The concern is not "Community Center" help related. Topic moved here to the TV help section for assistance.

Hey there, user_2jas17, thanks for reaching out through Xfinity Forums regarding the issues with your cable box! I know how important it is to ensure your box is working properly. My household is watching a lot of TV with playoff football on! I want to get to the bottom of this for you. Are you getting any error messages or code or is the issue just with freezing? What happened during your tech appointment was the box or any cables other than the splitter switched?

I think it means you posted somewhere else and it was moved to the X1 section.

@user_5t8r7r  A little confused by your post.  The Ultimea D80 has one HDMI input and one output that goes to the TV.  The one labeled ARC is an output not an input.   

You also mention HD.  The Ultimea site says the D80 supports 4K HDR.  There's precious little 4K content on Xfinity.  Aside from a few live sports events, the only 4K is from 3rd party apps like Netflix.  So, what do you mean by the HD input?

I have the same problems. The tech that came out said that these boxes are basically problematic and have many issues. The streaming works fine on my smart tv and Roku. I think it’s ridiculous that Xfinity knows these boxes are faulty and haven’t done anything about it. Most people have 4K TV’s these days. We keep paying more and getting less. I have every service and xfinity mobile. Not getting my moneys worth! May finally have to cut the cable!

@lucarp I've had a few XG1v4 boxes, mostly because support insisted on sending me replacements for issues that were not because of the boxes.  So, they've been quite reliable for me over the last three years on two 4K TVs.  None of the replacements were new.  Refurbs instead.  I don't know that they are making them anymore.
