Xfinity 4k - XG1v4 Cable Box Availability

Called Xfinity and asked about the availability of XG1v4 cable boxes at my location (WA state), which has the capability to stream 4k content through Netflix.  Was assured, with repeated confirmations, that they were available to the local service store, would just have to bring in my existing cable box and exchange it.  Bought a nice LG OLED TV, upgraded my Netflix account to receive Ultra HD, and took my box down to the local service center for exchange, per customer service direction.  You can probably guess what happened next - "sorry, we don't have any 4k boxes, don't know when we will".  Anyone else been misled by the Xfinity garbage customer service?  Went online to see what lies they convey on their website regarding this matter, and found this:  https://www.xfinity.com/support/cable-tv/uhd-4k-faqs/   More misleading BS.  Wanted to warn anyone else potentially in the same situation as myself not to believe anything you are told or read about the availability of XG1v4 boxes; go to your service center first to confirm.

I am trying to select Send Message but brings me to blank page.  Would really like to order the new XG1v4 box.

I stopped by my local Xfinity store and was told they still don't have the XG1v4 available and need to discuss with customer support.  Could I request a XG1v4 Self Install Kit?  I would like to have 4K content.

Posting to enable PM feature. I really need at least 1 XG1v4. I currently have 3 4K UHD TV's with HDR + Dolby Vision support including tOLED65C7P model I received on Saturday. I also have a Netflix premium account as well as Amazon Prime Video that also supports 4K.

Then why was the Eternet feature pointed out in the original post?

Those are just descriptions of the back of the box, doesn’t mean it’s active

So I’ve been trying to get a hold of one of these bad boys for over two months. I called and the rep said one was on my way, turns out they sent me and even older box than what I had! I called back and the rep said they had them at my local store. I drive all the way to my local store, wait for 45mins even though I had an appointment to be told they didn’t have it!! I’m at my wits end, are there any reps that can help me out or is there a strategy to receive theses that I do not know???

I've just realized that the Comcast Labs HDMI Link setting is not there anymore. Kept thinking it had something to do with the cables and even swapped one.

Why was this setting removed? Are they any plans to add it back?
