One of the boxes keeps freezing. We have followed the instructions to turn off; wait 10 sec, etc. but there is a connetivity issue. Says "cannot connect to the platform." Box has been out most of today.

Hey Neal...i have a technician coming out tomorrow morning (weather permitting) to look at my X1 DVR.
So I see on other threads more people complaining about losing their recording setttings and finding these phantom recordings on their machines for shows they never scheduled..
Any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks again for getting tech on my problem.

is your internet (and phone if have that service) working? if so do you have a house amp? did the power brick get accidently unplugged? by power off do you mean unplug 30 seconds and plug back in?

I haven't tried recording pay per view, but what I got from the transcript is, Comcast has no idea which PPVs will or won't record (based on network restrictions), so they leave the record option there on all of them. And I assume you won't know until the program starts if it's actually recording or not.

user joe quinn has entered room
analyst Ram Angelo has entered room
Ram Angelo: Hello joe quinn _, Thank you for contacting Comcast Live Chat Support. My name is Ram Angelo. Please give me one moment to review your information.
Ram Angelo: Hi! Hope you are doing great today!
Ram Angelo: How may I help you with your cable TV?
joe quinn _: I tried automatically scheduling a PPV show to record but it never recorded. Do I have to physically tune to the channel for it to record properly? Or do I have to schedule a "manual channel" recording for the duration of the show, instead of letting it automatically record?,
joe quinn _:
joe quinn _: and we have the x1 box as well
Ram Angelo: Joe, the reason why you cannot record PPV shows because DVR box is not able to record PPV shows.
joe quinn _: then why's the option there if you can't record them. and the x1 support site says you can record ppv events on the x1 box
joe quinn _: plup, I know someone who has x1 who's been able to record them
Ram Angelo: I do apologize Joe, X1 box are not able to record PPV shows, and sometimes, the network will allow you to record some PPV events.
Ram Angelo: But most of the time, the network will not allow you to record PPV shows,especially the popular shows.
joe quinn _: I presume that if an event isn't able to record, that that option just won't be available?
joe quinn _: i was trying to record the clean guys of commedy
Ram Angelo: I understand your point Joe, because sometimes, the network will allow you to record some PPV shows, reason why there's a record option.
joe quinn _: so then if it were able to record, would I have to tune to the channel physically, or would be able to record automatically?
Ram Angelo: It will be able to record automatically Joe.
joe quinn _: because the automatic. recording didn't will for the last 1 nights
joe quinn _: didn't work for the last 2 nights
joe quinn _: it scheduled fine but didn't record
Ram Angelo: I understand. It means, that the PPV shows are not available for recording.
Ram Angelo: Joe, Since we were able to determine the outage is causing the issue, may I please know if we were able to fully address your concern?
joe quinn _: so what then? I'm confused
Ram Angelo: Sorry for the typo Joe, I mean, since we determined that X1 box is not able to record PPV, may I please know if we were able to fully address your concern?
joe quinn _: yeah
Ram Angelo: Perfect!
Ram Angelo: I am glad that we have resolved your issue by providing the reason why you cannot record PPV shows.
Ram Angelo: Is there anything else I can be of help today? I would be glad to help you further.
Ram Angelo: You have opened a window for Comcast Support and I don't want to miss an opportunity to support you. Are we still connected?
Ram Angelo: Please let me know that we are still connected. Thank you.
joe quinn _: we are, but there's nothing else that I need help with

Based on the fact that he just posted his name, address, and last 4 of soc to a forum, I'm guessing we finally have someone so mad at Comcast that they actually want to have their identity stolen. (identity suicide?)
