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.

Hello @ComcastChe
Can I get added to the list as well (request for XG1v4 cable box upgrade). I tried to find the private message icon, but I believe that may need to be initiated by you first.
Thanks!

I don't seem to have the PM ability... no control to send a message when I go to your profile.

scroll up and check to see if you are signed into the forum. After making your first public post then you can send a private message.

Yep, @Rustyben signed in to the forums. I've seen a few other responses that once you make a public post you can then PM, but I'm not seeing any control that allows that function. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place? When I look at my profile or open someone elses, all I see is the:
I do not see any button or anything for private messages. I'm really hoping I'm just blind and it is perfectly obvious that the function is available, just in a different spot. 🙂

Interesting, this morning, I now have a little envelope icon on my profile that takes me to Private Messages. Maybe it's four public posts to automatically enable the feature?
