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.

1. Out of your previous dvr’s recordings, you will have access to the last 60 hours recorded. Anything past that will be lost.
2. Those settings are cloud based and will show on the replacement

Dear Sir/Madam, how can I get access to an Xfinity XG1v4 TV Box?
I have a 65" LG UH6150 that does have UHD apps like NetFlix, Amaxon Prime, YouTube and Vudu, but having access to all of that plus XFinity programming in HD and 4k accessible by voice, and not having to change inputs on Receiver for Audio plus changing remotes (not a spouse-friendly operation) would be extremely helpful.
I have one DVR PX013ANM (XG1-P) in the Media Room and Two PXD01ANI (XiD-P) in the House.
Thank you

I asked my xfinity store about this and they had no clue.
How do we get a self install to upgrade to this 4K DVR?
