on the set top box connected TV that does not work, does the Youtube app work? using your voice control say "about". what is the line to right of STV version?
I am having the same issue with my Amazon App on the Main Box. Both Netflix and YouTube work perfectly, and I am able to browse Amazon. The connection error is only when you try to play a video. My STV Number is :PXO13AN_3.2p10sl_PROD_sey.
My STV Number is : PXO13AN_3.2p10sl_PROD_sey.

AX013AN_32p1Os1_PROD_sey is what is on mine with the same issue. It’s my primary box on my tvs.
you will need to call 800-comcast and select tech support and let them run their tests for 'internet' access by your xg1 version 3 DVR.
This problem seems to remain unresolved. I have not been able to view content on Prime Video on my main DVR box for over 2 months. Works on upstairs box. Netflix works, no problem. I can view Prime Video on my iPad fine.
Comast should at least replace the “Internet Connection Error” with an “out of service” message so subscribers don’t mistakenly believe this is a problem with Amazon or their internet service, which clearly it is not.

would you use voice command "about"' on that TV and reply with the rest of the line after STB version... ?
I had the same exact problem as you and the others on this thread. After trying Xfinity chat support and phone support and multiple DVR resets, I finally decided to replace by XG1v3 DVR. I went to my local Xfinity store today and got the latest model XG1v4 DVR and now Prime Video finally works again. The Sales Consultant there was excellent. He also gave me the latest non DVR boxes as replacements for the older ones on my other TVs and changed my plan to save me more than $20/month.
Hope this helps to end the frustration. Good luck.

are any of the non-DVR boxes much bigger than the others? (that would be an XG2 that has its own tuner and 3 more tuners and a DOCSIS modem for the other non-DVR boxes to use and that frees up the DVR's tuners so you can record up to 6 programs at the same time. (yhou can see the models by using 'about' and noting the rest of the line after "STB version...".

Second box is PXD01ANI. Prime Video plays on that box.
consider swapping that XiD for an XG2 companion (same price). it will increase the number of DVR tuners you have available to record and watch live.
What I conclude from this is that the Comcast equipment does not work with all Comcast services. If so, I can’t imagine why Comcast would leave this to customers to figure out and not advise customers that the “Internet Connection Error” is likely inadequate equipment.

companion (Xi) set top boxes must use a tuner from a DVR or an XG2 to play live TV. When used from the DVR it reduces the number of tuners the DVR has available to use to record/watch live TV. it seems best practice is to have a DVR then an XG2 and then up to 3 Xi3/XiD set top boxes that will use the XG2s tuners and not the DVRs tuners. none of that affects using internet apps unless MoCA communication between the devices is somehow blocked.

@Rustyben, I don’t know why you’ve hijacked this thread to talk about tuners. These people are asking about the Prime app.
for non-DVR non XG2 X1 set top devices (xi3/xiD/xi5/xi6) the device must communicate via MoCA to use the modem/tuners in the XG1/XG2. If MoCa communications have issues or DVR is already servicing other devices, issues can happen (hence the discusion about best practice in device inventory).

is your use of the app now working? I have not seen a reply from you in this thread.

I have the same problem and customer support was not helpful.
for diagnostic purposes try the youtube app. does it work normally? Also, test the Pandora app.
@Rustyben no, I can access Prime and it shows which episodes I have watched, but video play is not working. As I said, Netflix, YouTube, Pandora all work, Prime does not. Prime works on Apple TV, as do all the other apps, so that is where I have gone. I will keep Comcast internet, cancel the X1 video and return the remaining boxes. Just not worth the hassle and cost.

I have escalated your issue to the Comcast Team available to these forums. Check back often for a reply in this thread from a Comcast Official Employee.

Thanks, but like I said, too much hassle. If Comcast was concerned, they would have someone already monitoring this site, instead of all of us just talking amongst ourselves.

I receieved yet another follow-up call on the Prime issue last night, this time from a Level 2 operator. He made no mention of the "outtage" reffered to in the previous call, and I didn't bring it up. He reset the modem and said he'd call back after a few of minutes to see if that worked. The modem reset did not address the problem, and he never called back.
I was on the phone with level 2 support for 20 minutes on Saturday only to have her send me instrucitons on registering my X1 device with amazon prime, which was done weeks ago when it was working. I called back and they said it was escalated to level 2 and should be fixed in 24 hours. So an hour later and all I'm being told is they're working on it. Still not working. It seems as though there's a known issue there is no fix for...
Hi All,

@JAC57 please send @ComcastKenF your account information so he can look at your account/equipment
Yes, please do!
Hi All,
Is everyone attempting to play the Amazon prime content shown in the Kid's Zone?
KenF
Hey All, you have to post publicly before you can private message anyone. That is not an error or glitch--private messaging in the forum is working as intended. Please send me a message if you haven't already.
We ask that if you are experiencing an "internet connection error" when using Amazon Prime Video to please reply to this post with images of the error message you are experiencing so we can understand if we can assist or if you need to contact Amazon directly.
Side note, if you are using the Kid Zone feature of X1 and try to launch an Amazon Prime asset and the error appears (connection error), this is a known issue. We are working on resolving that handoff error. If you are not using Kid Zone to launch Amazon Prime content, that is different altogether-- please send me or ComcastMorgan a private message if the latter is your case. Most likely we will need to update your box or get you a new one.
Thanks in advance for your continued patience as we work on getting this fully resolved.

I was not using Kid Zone when the app was not functional. However, the Prime App starting working for me last night. We didn't do anything to address the problem. We just tired it again on a whim, and it ended up working. Hopefully this is the last time I have to think about it.

Grossnickle, thanks for the update here. Glad the app is working for you now. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks to KenF, I got a call from Comcast with someone to look into the problem. The person looked into it and said the following: Comcast has a nationwide outage on Prime Video. It is a system issue. Their network engineers have been working on it for weeks. They will call me when it’s fixed.
