After having to upgrade our cable box, the new X1 Box gave this message for a few minutes and then went to a black screen. After several restarts and and swearing, it kept doing the same thing. After reading on this forum that lots of other people were having problems I gave up. I tried to get help through customer service chat or phone, but coulndn't get a real person to try to help me out. I figured my only option was to go into the store but I decided to see if just waiting would do anything.
I checked after two hours of letting it sit connected and powered on and it was still only the black screen. I checked after three hours and it had finally finished waking up and was at the expected setup screen. It is really frustrating that they don't even add a note to the "help assistant" that it could take a long time for the cable box to wake up and download all the required information before the setup screen appears. It is also really frustrating that it is so hard to get help from xfinity when issues arise especially during a pandemic.

 

My advice: if it doesn't start up after a few hours or even a day then I would recomend setting up an appointment and take the box to the nearest xfinity store and swaping it out for a different one unless you can actually get ahold of a customer service rep.
