Thank you.  I have issued a credit for that charge.  This will be present on your next pay statement.

you are absolutley right , i have been going on nine months of the and they have credited me over 600.00 dollars but i had to keep them on the phone , they wasted my time , i wasted theres , call the fcc , inform them of the many people on the forum her , then call the states attourney and let them know , after they screwed up my house for 7 months they finally started working on the  lines to my house , the poles all new taps and node upgrades and the system has been better and better over the last 3 weeks but until it works fine for a month or 2 straight they are not off the hook , just search class action lawsuit on the forum and i think they are growing in support for this action , they still are liable for restoring my cable as i had it routed  before they mollested it and they need to upgrade the remotes if not done yet , , i feel youre pain ,as do the thousands of others  is using for guinea pigs , just read the forums which they support but dont read , good luck and keep fighting , print this and show them what others have gone through when they show up at youre door . thanks for adding to the growng voice of the coamcast lab rats they use to develope theyre product since they failed to do it before putting it in our homes , keep voicing your problems ,

I forgot to update this thread on my issues.  I was having a black screen in the living room.   Finally got a technician out and the fix was to route the hdmi out straight to the TV instead of through the home theater receiver.   Sound goes to the receiver with a optical cable. 

Wierd that it worked for a week until an update killed compatibility. 

Oh well, it works now and we like the increased features we get. 

4-5 days ago I upgraded to the great X1 I have been watching advertised. Now daily have issues with screen freeze, guide freezing blocking my viewing, remote not able to control anything. Reseting last night let me watch the one channel I was watching and nothing else. Could not change channels and remote would not let me do anything. I had a tech come out the third day and replace all the old connectors checked my signal and he left happy with the numbers he was seeing. I am not sure if the thing will be working this morning or not. I am ready to go back to where I was and never see or hear X1 again. What can I do? What should I do? Is direct tv in my future, dish maybe? Or should I just get rid of TV and watch Netflix or the other choices I have? I cant go through this on a daily basis, I'm stressed out bigtime. Help!

Duplicate post in another topic.... X1-OMG

Hi,

Since moving to our new apartment, at least half of our channels pop up with the XRE-00018 error code and says cannot tune. First I rebooted a dozen times. Then double checked all connections. Found the area in the Comcast Labs section that can test signal strength, it says "Good", full bars. 

So we had a technician come out and he said the wiring in our walls has the old RG59 cable and thats why so many channels arent working. It seems to make enough sense but our old building is at lease 15 years older and it definitely had the old wiring in it and we had no problem.

What is strange is that not a single apartment in our new building has the issue besides us. Also our internet was intermittent for a while but seems to have stabilized.

HELP!!

X1 companion box issue. Just exchanged old box for new but same error happens. Change channels, new channel logo appears with flashing dots below on black screen. And goes no further. No channel picture or sound. Can change channel with remote but only see new logo and same flashing dots. Power down and unplug box for reboot. TV shows "no signal" on screen as it should. HDMI connection. Plug box back in, power up. No signal to TV (Sony EDTV). Reset box with smartphone app. Lights on box flash. No signal to TV. Call to tech support for their refresh. No signal display on TV. After waiting 20-30 minutes, tried unplugging HDMI from back of box, then plugging back into box. Sound and picture pop on TV. Next night, same issue. unplug and refresh (including HDMI) but this is not what I am paying a couple of hudred dollars a month (triple play package) for. Big hassle. Ideas? Signal problem to companion box? Is box able to self-test and display for signal strength? And why does the HDMI have to be disconnected from the box and reconnected each time before the signal will register on the TV?

Thanks for any helpful feedback.
