XiD-P box

What is it? Was told I need to upgrade my cable box. Received this little unit, about the size of a postcard. Am I supposed to replace my large cable box? If so, which one? (I have two.) I'm not having problems and still don't understand why a replacement is necessary. Attempted to get support via Chat. Tech rep kinda no help, and actually disconnected.

Side note: I'm supposed to return "old" unit in box new unit came in. It won't fit.

Was I sent the wrong device?

Re: Xid-P

Still don't understand why your agent advised I needed this box. I have since returned it.

Best I could tell this box had streaming capability for additional subscriber platforms. My Smart TVs already have those apps, thus I returned it.

No further assistance needed from you.

Hello @user_34eb0a! The XiD TV Box is a Service to Additional TV device that supports both Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD, HDMI-only input) TVs for Xfinity X1. It is not wireless. Customers with a cable subscription would need a Xi5 for wireless connection.
