Upgrade from XG2v2-P to XG1V4
Ive upgraded with a 4k tv. I’ve tried to order the XG1V4 through customer service. They are adamant that all I need is an Xi6, and they keep sending them. I lease a Comcast modem so no issue there. I’ll refrain from returning these 3 extra boxes until I hear. Could you please advise on the best setup to take advantage of 4k as of July 2026. As for the DVR the XG2 is cloud based, it’s ok but I prefer the hard drive. The cloud based one gets confused and sends it back to the start with no way to return to the spot I lost it. Does the XG1V4 still have a hard drive as of July 2026?

I have two XG1v4 DVRs and prefer the wired connection over wireless, local recording, and more tuners for simultaneous recording. The one advantage of the Xi6 I see is support for Dolby Vision over HDR10. You also can place it in rooms that aren't wired. It seems to be harder and harder to get an XG1v4 these days. The support people here may be able to help you get the box you want.

I believe the Xi6 can be the main box, but you should get confirmation from Xfinity.
