XG1v4 Cable Box requires Xfinity Modem???

I tried to call support this AM to request the 4k cable box. I have both cable and internet with Xfinity but I do use my own modem for internet purposes.

 

Anyways, I called this AM and the rep told me that they could not upgrade the box because I use my own modem? Is that true or is there anyways around this? 

 

Thank you!!

No it’s not unless you were also getting wireless boxes.

So I should be able to exchange my current box for one then without having to rent an internet modem directly from Comcast?

The XG1v4 box can work without a gateway at all, and for wireless boxes, they are updated and you can now use them on your own modem.

Hello,  Soxbsbll05! Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us here for help with exchanging your equipment. 

In short, the 4K DVR is available to be used with a personal gateway, but the 4K wireless box does require a leased gateway. 

 

Either way, I'd be more than happy to work with you to adjust your equipment. Please send me a private message with your first and last name, as well as your service address so I can assist.
