Is it possible to have 25+ TVs on a X1 system? We have had Techs out to the house twice, both of which say the whole thing is too complicated for them. I'm hoping a Comcast rep in the forum can tell me if it is possible and, if so, what equipment we need. All TVs are home runs connected to daisy chained PPC Evo1-5s. The main X1 DVR works fine, as do any clients that are also on that Evo. The others either do not connect, or connect and pixelate. I basically want know if I am wasting my time trying to get this to work? If that's the case, I would have thought one of the two techs that came out would have just told that it's impossible.
Thanks, in advance, for any help provided.

It won't work with daisy chained amps, the moca connection necessary for the X1 platform doesn't pass through properly. You would NEED everything homeran to a nine port Evo or Commscope amp. To utilize 25+ devices each port of the amp would be split with a balanced 3 way or 4 way. If those outlets can't be homeran, than it can't be done. Also, YMMV but there may be a limit of how much X1 equipment can be on an account (i think it's 16)
adding... I was pondering the 16 device on the current level of MoCA and it came to me that the use of RoKU devices would give additional set top boxes the ability (ethernet connection via a switch). Do they all need to full access or could some be on DTAs?
adding... Comcast has begun making a wireless set top box companion available that requires a Comcast supplied MoCA enabled modem. If any of the wireless devices are installed the set top box count maximum would be decreased by one due to the modem's MoCA connection.
