Thank you so much for posting your question here in the Xfinity Forum. Without knowing what specific X1 box below is a chart of the light configuration for our X1 boxes.
RNG150 and XG1 TV Boxes
| Device Status | Power Light/LED Activity |
| Power save mode | Off |
| Loading/rebooting | Power light solid; LEDs blinking |
| Steady/no activity | Power light solid |
| Remote control activity | Green LED flashes when button pressed |
| Recording in progress | Red LED solid |
Xi3, Xi4, XiD and XG2 TV Boxes
| Device Status | Power Light |
| Power save mode | Off |
| Loading/rebooting | Slow blinking |
| Steady/no activity | Solid |
| Remote control activity | Flaring |
The "Loading/Rebooting" status on our Xi3, Xi4, XiD and XG2 devices usually occurs after an update. You can modify your scheduled device update window by following the directions below.
Changing the Daily Update Time for TV Boxes
- Press the xfinity button on your remote control, navigate to highlight the Settings wheel, and press the OK button.
- Navigate to highlight Preferences, and press the OK button.
- Navigate to highlight General, and press the OK button.
- Navigate to highlight Daily Update Time, and press the OK button.
- Adjust the Time of your Daily Update in two-hour blocks. For example, you can change it from the default time of 3:00 AM - 4:00 AM local time to 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM local time.
With any device issue, we recommend cleaning the device, ensuring it is in a well-ventilated area and reboot the device by unplugging it from the wall outlet, wait 30 seconds and then plug it back in. If you continue to experience this after rebooting the device and outside your update window you could also be experiencing low signal to your box or a defective device. You can test the outlet by connecting a different box there. If the issue persists with the other box, you are likely in need of a technician visit. If you do not experience this issue with your other box, you likely need to replace the defective device. You can replace it by taking it to a local Xfinity store (find your local store here: https://www.xfinity.com/support/service-center-locations/) or we can help you replace it here.

Happening quite a bit in the last week. The box is a XG2v2. Power cycled, checked connections and blew the dust off. Still happening.
while on live TV press the 'left' button to review your notifications. after reading highlight the X on the same line and delete the notification.

As noted in the thread answer, it’s not a problem if it’s flashing. If it truly bothers you that it’s flashing, turn the light completely off
