TV not finding/seeing Xfinity cable box thru HDMI

2 of 3 TVs work fine. Main SAMSUNG TV not seeing or finding xfinity cable box. Cable box has blue flashing light; what I can see on TV is a loop:

Welcome… spinning circle… spinning circle…

Had xfinity ping the box remotely; no issue.

Checked connections and tested HDMI cable; no issue.

TV and cable box not talking.

Completed HDMI troubleshooting; no issues.

Tightened connections.

Cable box blue light is flashing.

What I see on TV is a loop: Cable box starts… I see “Welcome…” I get the spinner… then it starts over.

SAMSUNG TV then tells me to troubleshoot the connections…

And the wheels on the bus go round and round.
