Hey there, @Bill2beach! We would be happy to look into this for you. If you have an X1 cable box, can you follow these steps with activating the box? https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/x1-stb-activation. Please let us know if that does not work.

@XfinityAdrienne​ Hello. This isn't a new start up. I recently turned in an old small box I wasn't using any more. I guess, somehow my other box was deactivated. When I went to turn on my kitchen tv, it said box needs to be activated. Unit ID is 191-16109-902222-085 if that helps.

Unfortunately, we cannot assist with activations without accessing the account directly. We would need to be in a Direct Message with additional information to do that.

 

If the box is an X1 box, the activation process Adrienne provided above should prompt it to come back online. Are you getting any errors and if so, which screen are you getting that error and what is the error saying?

It is not one of the big boxes. It is a smaller auxiliary box. I can't even locate it on my account anymore. It must have been removed by mistake. It just says Something is not quite right when I turn it on. Is there anything you can do or do I have to get in the long telephone line?
