Error code RDK-03033 on tv boxes every few hours

Getting error code RDK-03033 on tv boxes every day this week and repeatedly during the day.  Can’t change channels and screen locks.  Restarts of tv boxes don’t work until I first restart internet too and then after internet is refreshed restart of tv boxes work.  This happens every few hours and is very time consuming and very frustrating.  Any ideas how to fix this?

Good morning, @user_f2ed8b! Thank you for reaching out to the Digital Care team on our forums page. Over social media, we appreciate the opportunity to assist you today for help with the XFINITY video service concern! No worries, you’ve reached the best place in virtual land for help with error code issues such as this. I never enjoy experiencing error messages when watching my video service so I can relate the frustration that this can cause. We appreciate you greatly for patiently waiting for a response. Can you tell me when you first noticed this issue and if the boxes were ever moved to a different location from where they were originally installed? Have you also tried using the My Account app for the system refresh? Another great option to do a system refresh is through the X1 set top box under the help section in the settings menu. It's really cool!

 

Did you know that you can now troubleshoot services and schedule a repair appointment online in My Account if you are experiencing issues with your Xfinity TV, or Internet service? This is something that we did not have available in the past and similar to what we do over social media. For future reference, here are some really cool steps below.

 

1st -In order to schedule a repair appointment, you need to first try to resolve your issue using the online troubleshooting guides available in My Account. To select a troubleshooting guide, select the appropriate device from the Devices tab and then select the Troubleshoot link to get started.

 

2nd - After doing so, you may be directed to set up a repair appointment with an Xfinity technician if we're unable to resolve your issue online.

 

3rd- Please tell us about the nature of your issue and select Continue.

 

4th- Select a date and time that works best for you, and enter the best number for the technician to reach you. When you've completed all the fields, select Schedule Appointment.

 

5th- You'll see a confirmation page once your appointment is scheduled. If you need to change or cancel your appointment, you can select the Manage Appointment option. Otherwise, you can exit by selecting Back to My Account.

Hi.  Thank you for the response but you did not answer my question.  I have repeatedly restarted my X1 boxes and also my X1 internet modem.  This works for about 1 or 2 hours and then the error code comes back again and the TV locks up and I have to repeat the restart again on all my devices.  This has been happening for over 1 week.   I have not moved any boxes from where they were originally installed.  Could this be a software problem and not a problem with my boxes?

@user_f2ed8b Based on what you've described here in terms repeated issue every couple of ours, it sounds like our best bet would be to have a technician out to take a closer look. You're always welcome to use the steps my teammate outlined above, or we'd be glad to assist right here.

Will this issue ever get resolved or is this a permanent "feature" Xfinity customers are to expect moving forward?

@muzicman52​ Doubt it. I have been having the same issue with this error code and comcast only wants to do a hard reset of the eqiopment. By the time you make an appointment for them to come to your house, everything is working fine
