Newly installed 2nd box not working

I have a XID-P box that came with our XG2 system. It’s several years old and has never been used. Last week I tried to use it with a newly installed TV in 2nd bedroom. It gets stuck on the “connecting to your entertainment experience” screen. I’ve tried resetting numerous times. I requested the signal be resent and I ohmed out the coax cable as well as tried a different coax cable. I’m thinking that maybe the XID-P box needs some sort of activation signal sent or a firmware update since it is a few years old? The XG2 box works without issue. Any ideas or suggestions?

If it’s never been activated it may be in disabled status on your account. You might want to swap it as it would obviously be several updates behind

Thanks for the reply. It was indeed de-activated. I stopped by the xfinity store yesterday and they re-activated it. When I got home I did a “system restart” via the remote and now everything works perfect.
