Unable To Watch $1 Movie Rental - Error - ENT-22018

OK, I went thru ALL the self checks, multiple times, to resolve this issue and NONE are working. Initially, I retried multiple times. Next, I unplugged the comcast box for 2 minutes, still the same, I then restarted the box, still no change. I gave up and unplugged the box overnight (12 hours), tried again, still the same error.

I then unplugged my router and modem several minutes, tried again, still not able to watch. Restarted the comcast box again, still unable to start the film. Also, I am using an ethernet cable connection which allows me to watch other shows, etc thru the comcast box so I know it is not the connection. Also, there are no outages reported for our area at this time so I think I have done all the self checks multiple times and to no available.

We rented the film last evening and it is showing as being available until early Tuesday morning. Any suggestions, solutions would be greatly appreciated?

I now have less then 24 hours to watch a film that your system indicates was rented but simply will not start despite multiple self troubleshooting methods since Saturday. Trying to get thru to someone by phone is a total waste of time. Are there any Comcast reps that monitor this forum?

@XfinityMarshante​ Just wanted to let you know that I gave up on this after an hour and half back and forth conversation via Facebook only to be told I had to call a toll free number and relate everything to a new person. My time is more valuable than that and as far as any further $1 movies for us, we are done, we will not ever waste our time again. We have had many instances in the past with the $1 movies, without issue, but the hassle one has to go thru to get something that should be so simple to resolve, simply isn't worth the amount of valuable time expended.

I thank you, for at least responding.
