Getting error code rdk-03003...

I'm not able to watch TV through my cable box due to the error code rdk-0303...with the following message:

"Sorry there seems to be a problem...etc. Please check that your cables are tightly secured and try again. If that doesn’t work, go to xfinity.com/support/status or use the Xfinity My Account app to check for service outages and get additional troubleshooting tips."

I've tried all of the trouble shooting steps and even went and got another X1 box to see if that was the issue. But, I'm still having this problem.

The box continues to recycle through the set-up process as long as it's left plugged in.

I've replaced all of the connecting cables and still no luck. It was working fine last night. But when turned on the TV this morning I started getting this and other error codes randomly.

I got up this morning and decided to try one last thing. I took the splitter out of the equation and took the coax directly to the X1 box. I left the ethernet unplugged. I plugged the box in and waited...and finally the box loaded successfully and was fully functional.

So, I decided to put the splitter back into the line and hooked everything up the way it was previously. After about 10 minutes the box came back online and is now operational.

I have no idea what originally caused this issue, but I'm suspecting that it might have been a software upgrade that went bad. So, Im hoping that it continues to work without any further issues.

I'll update this post if the problem returns in the next few days. If it does, then I suspect the splitter may be going bad. But, for now I'm able to watch TV.

Hello! Wow! That was great troubleshooting and process of elimination! I can see having all those errors could get tedious to say the least. Please keep up updated on this and let us know if you have any issues whatsoever. Were here as a community to help.

I have seen splitters go bad before. In my last place, I had the same splitter for years and it was fine. However, I have seen that cause interference and all sort of interruptions in service. Its not common but happens. Again, we are here if (edit: formatting) you need anything 😊.

After a week, I can say with confidence that replacing the splitter has fixed the issue. I've had not errors or issues in the past week.

I hope that this helps someone else who may encounter this problem...and to not discount anything in the connection chain.
