4k cable TV box

Greetings,

I just purchased a 4k TV and after looking through the settings on my cable box I have found that it will only output up to 1080p.

I did some research on Xfinity and found that I will need an Xfinity X1 XG1v4 box in order to output at 4k.

I have been unable to find a way to request one of these through my account, and there is a history on this forum of posts where Xfinity support has been able to help.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks.

Hello @user_448a7z I hope you are loving your new TV! Due to a limited supply of our 4K boxes, they are only able to be ordered through us directly. And, we can most definitley help get you set up with one! Can you send our team a direct message with your full name and address so we can get that process started?
