Status Unavailable

I own my own modem and have 3 xfinity cable boxes.  The DVR box is an Arris Xg1v4.  Its status in the xfinity app is shown as “unavailable“ but the two non-DVR boxes in my house, one located in the bedroom and one in a workout room, are detected and appear to be normal. I am not having a problem with my service, but this is odd and I believe interfering with a universal remote I am using to control the main box. Any guidance?  Looks like this has happened to others.

The concern is not "Xfinity Home Security / Devices And Equipment" help related. Topic moved here to the proper help section for assistance.

 I can always look to see why it's appearing like that in the app but the boxes status shouldn't have any impact on the ability to pair a remote. Could you please private message me with your full name and address?

Here's how to send the requested information in a private message to Xfinity Support;

  • Click "Sign In" if that prompt is visible

 
  • Click the "Direct Messaging" icon  or https://forums.xfinity.com/direct-messaging

  
  • Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

  • The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person but don't do that.

      Instead, type Xfinity Support there. As you are typing a drop-down list appears.

  • Select "Xfinity Support" from the list. An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line.

  • Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

  • Press Enter or tap the > icon to send it
