Xfinity 4k - XG1v4 Cable Box Availability
Called Xfinity and asked about the availability of XG1v4 cable boxes at my location (WA state), which has the capability to stream 4k content through Netflix. Was assured, with repeated confirmations, that they were available to the local service store, would just have to bring in my existing cable box and exchange it. Bought a nice LG OLED TV, upgraded my Netflix account to receive Ultra HD, and took my box down to the local service center for exchange, per customer service direction. You can probably guess what happened next - "sorry, we don't have any 4k boxes, don't know when we will". Anyone else been misled by the Xfinity garbage customer service? Went online to see what lies they convey on their website regarding this matter, and found this: https://www.xfinity.com/support/cable-tv/uhd-4k-faqs/ More misleading BS. Wanted to warn anyone else potentially in the same situation as myself not to believe anything you are told or read about the availability of XG1v4 boxes; go to your service center first to confirm.

So if we have more than 1 4K TV can we have more than 1 of these 4K DVR boxes hooked up at same time or will that mess up X1 throughout the house. I have 3 satellite boxes + 1 new 4K DVR box and am getting a 2nd 4k HDR tv. Anyone know? My satellite boxes are Xi3.

I want to get the 4k box. Previous posts say to send a private message and to post a message first to enable PM. I did that but still cannot figure out how to send private post so I can include my account info to get the 4k box.
Thanks,'

May I PM you and request a 2nd 4k DVR box? I have a new 4k TV ordered and on it's way. I'd like to have the 4k DVR box here for the new TV.
Thanks,
Eric

Hello @ComcastElla.
I am also hoping to get a 4K xfinity DVR but it does not look like I have the ability to PM you. Is this something you can enable? Thanks for your help and happy Thanksgiving!

Will be getting a new Sony 4K television soon, needed to replace my current box anyway due to it constantly getting stuck in boot every other morning. Now just need to get my wife to catch up on her DVR'd shows.
