Xfinity 4k - XG1v4 Cable Box Availability

When I returned my other box, the CSR confirmed the equipment we have and we now have two DVRs.  With whole house DVR, do I really need two DVRs?  I'm surprised he didn't bring this up.

Thanks.

I went by my service center yesterday morning and picked a box up.  Hooked it up and everything is working great.  Now, how do you find 4k content?  I found some in Netflix by scrolling around, but is there a way to search for content on cable?

Thanks.

That's the thing, if I don't need it I don't want to pay for it.  We have whole house DVR so it seems like a waste of money to have a second DVR.  This only became an issue since getting the 4k box.

Our DVR has been located in the basement since a tech moved it there a while ago.  I would think a regular box would suffice.

may of us have more than one DVR to add more space (hours on the cloud DVR) for recordings. they act together like one unit. if you have other devices that are not an Xg2 then the device uses a tuner from one of your DVRs to watch live TV which reduces the number of tuners available to record programs. 

I need to replace my current x1 stb with one capable of 4k uhd and hdr. I currently have a sony ubp-x700 working great with my TCL 55" 4k UHD with HDR. The streaming apps are all working great.

My DVR x1 stb, model PAD201194150, is limited to HD 1080p 60. I would like a box with similar functions, but with all the 4k goodies. Is the XG1v4 the box I need? Is there anything newer that would work for me?

I will PM joe to see about getting one.

Thx

I would like to replace my PX001ANM model set-top box with an XG1v4 model. Please advise.

It says "

Can I request a XG1v4?

Yes, please author a new post in this forum requesting one. We are happy to send you a Self Install Kit."

So now you've posted, you just wait for a rep to contact you.

Hello:

I would like to switch my existing X1 DVR box for the 4K model (XG1v4 box) with a self install kit or in-store pickup.

Wow, very interesting.  Thanks for that tidbit.  That's pretty awesome.  Especially for a family of four filling up the box.

Hello,

My older x1 box is suffering from the audio drop outs and I just purchased a 4k tv. Please contact me about exchanging my current box.

Thanks.
