can i hook the xfinity x1 tv box to a tube tv?

Hi,

We just upgraded to 140+ channels & were sent a new X1 TV set box that I want to use on an old CRT tube TV.  Have completed the setup process and cannot get any channels below #187 (Hallmark).  In otherwords no ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, SYFY, etc.  Have refreshed & restarted the X1, no help.

We are receiving gobs of channels above 187, starting with 666 (QVC-2) going into the 1,000's - or I should say they appear in the guide.  Nothing below 187 appears in the TV Guide 😞

 

Also I tried to change the device settings for video from 16:9, 720P  HD to 4:3 480i SD & even tho it looks like it's working it does not & the X1 remains on 16:9, 720P HD.  Don't know if that matters or not but I certainly don't expect to revcieve HD channels on that TV.

 

Thanks

So, it didn't have anything to do with my old TV (kinda thought that).  Communicated with Comcast employee John via Chat & he found a "Service Pending" request or some such & got it resolved.

All good now.

thanks John 🙂
