new box install issue

I got a newer X1 box to see if it would solve my slow app issue, as support suggested I do. I installed it, and got a "no signal" error. "something went wrong" I checked cables, cycled power, changed cables, still got same error message. I plugged the old box back in, and it immediately booted and works fine. I exchanged the box in case it was defective. Same result. New box won't connect, old box works fine. Support wanted to send out a tech, but I don't want a $115.00 charge hanging over my head. If the old box works fine, why wouldn't the new model? I am tempted to just try a wireless box, but we have the slower internet speed and I am not sure that would be the best option.

sadirock I would be happy to do some troubleshooting of the new device, and if I can't get it working I'm happy to get a tech out. Given it's our device not working there shouldn't be any charge for the visit.
