Cable box error “There is no software to execute”

One of our cable boxes always has a blinking light and the message on the tv screen is “There is no software to execute”. It’s a blue screen. There is a Pace logo as well. 

I tried doing the xFinity app troubleshooter and it did nothing to help the tv situation and now my remote won’t work either.

Hey there @user_7b5c7a! Thanks for reaching out to us about this. I'm sorry you're having issues with your cable box. Can you tell me what kind of box you're having issues with?

I’m not sure what the box is called but it’s small. Maybe XiD-P? 

The model number is Pace PXD01ANI.

Same box, same issue. How do you resolve this? The reboot didn't help

Gotcha! Okay, that's an Xi device for sure. So there has to be a tuner issue, signal issue or MoCA network issue. I'll have to take a look at your account to actually sort this out for you so we can get it fixed. In order to get started can you please click the chat bubble in the top right corner and send a message to our "Comcast Business" handle?

@XfinityAntoine​ Can you clarify the handle?  I don’t see a Comcast business handle. I see “Business Account”. I also see some that say Comcast user and Comcast customer.

I am having same issue, and stuck in Xfinity Support hell. The Assistant won't connect an agent and just resets the main box. Is there a solution to this or is the box done?

@user_013wgv​ I too had the same issue, but I was lucky enough to speak with a Comcast representative (800-266-2278) who confirmed the obvious: the only solution was to replace the existing box with a new one.
