XG1v4-A

I am on my 2nd replacement  box in a month.  The new XG1v4-A is now periodically malfunctioning, resulting in a temporary snow screen followed by total loss of signal.  A power down / power up cycle appears to restore function for a few days.  Is this simply bad hardware?

@Anon465660, thank you for reaching out using the Xfinity Forums, I know how important working equipment is and would be happy to take a look into yours. 2 replacements in a month is 2 too many, are you getting any error messages by chance? Also, have you used any of the troubleshooting available at our Xfinity Support site?

There have been no error messages or warnings. The screen shifts to snow with a band of color bars across the bottom and right side.  This lasts for about 15 seconds and then there is a complete loss of signal.  Power off and then on resets the box and all is well for a few days. I have not used the troubleshooting as the methods seem to address normal issues

Thanks.  I waited until the unit failed again this evening and then contacted Xfinity support.  A new unit is being shipped to me.  I will follow-up once I have the new box in service.  Below is the screen.

I have received the replacement unit and installed it.  This morning it exhibited the identical failure mode.  Clearly, there is something else causing the periodic failure of this model of converter box.  The previous models did not have a similar issue.
