The teck came out and saw the problem of  the X1 box coming on and going off, but the TV came on after he "rebooted" the box. That is what I had been doing to get the X1 box to start the programing on the TV. He did not have a replacement 4K box so we just left it still acting this way. I went to a blog and someone said by getting an HDMI splitter to put a HDMI cable from the X1 box to the splitter and an other HDMI cable from the splitter to the TV HDMI plug.. Since I did that the problem was solved. The blog said something about the timing of  the signal preventing a "handshake" between the TV and the box?  Anyway everything is working fine now.

Hi there, @jnrwindsurf,

 

I wanted to touch base with you on the 4K X1 box. Is the issue you have been experiencing still happening? I want to make sure this is taken care of, if not. I hope you are having a fantastic start to this week!
