what channels will do a live 4k stream ? fox cbs nbc ? i heard of some providers claiming to have live 4k sports... so i guess it might just be worth it for me to get the new cable box
Is the Fox NFL 4k thing not going to happen?
Happened today in Connecticut. Customer Service rep assured me that the Waterbury, CT, Xfinity office would be able to swap my cable box for a 4K version. I drove the 44.8 miles to the Waterbury office only to be told that they hadn't had any of those boxes for weeks, they didn't know when any might arrive, and that "Customer Service never knows what it's talking about."
i heard nfl thursday night football on fox was going to broadcast in 4k via xfinity... assuming xfinity decides to go with live 4k .. will that apply to xfinity stream as well ?
The box was set on 1080p60 HD for output but my tv is capable of 4k. Will the box detect the 4k feed and switch to 4k output automatically when something is 4k or should i just change the setting on the box to the "best possible output" 4k setting?
i have it changed to 4k. will it effect the picture if its not a 4k show?
The only difference should be that it is the X1 box doing the upscaling instead of the TV - and the HDMI cable has to carry more data. If you have a very, very high end TV it might do a better job of upscaling but the xg1v4 is pretty good.
Thanks to the tech support team and specifically the one who helped me, we got the 4K X1 1.4 hooked up a few days ago. It was so cool to see all the recordings on the new box without manually coping them. It’s been crazy so I only today got the 1.3 box up to mail on Monday.
So thanks again to you all!
I would like to get an XG1V4 DVR box that I can self-install. My local store didn't have one and wasn't aware that they even existed. They offered me a refurb and I declined.
I PM'd Comcast Ella a few days ago and just got this message from her in reply:
"Hello, This account is not being monitored (temporary). If you still experience issues or need assistance, please make sure to create a public post."
So I'm posting here hoping for help in receiving an XG1V4 box.

I ordered one from 1800comcast and a few weeks later ordered another one.
How do I get a 4K dvr ?
Call 1800XFINITY and tell them that you are having issues with your box ( if you are) and state that would like to order a non refurbed box and state you would like to self install the XG1V4.
I would like to request a 4k - XG1v4 Cable Box. Please tell me how, or put in a request for me. Thank You.
I'm having audio sync issues and would like to get a self-install kit with a 4K - XG1V4 (with DVR)

I called them and they wanted $15 to ship an XG1V4. Did anyone else have to pay for shipping? They also told me that another local store had 10 of them in stock, but they couldn't arrange for a store pickup. Guess I'll have to just go there and see what they have.

I avoided the shipping by going to my nearest Xfinity Store and did the swap there.
Another nice thing about going to the store is they remove the old box and add the new box to your account.
Yes, not being able to even watch your recorded content during an internet outage is extremely annoying - but I've only had that happen long enough to care a couple of times in several years of service.
The commercial skip/smart resume is up to the network to allow. Comcast obviously has to maintain a relationship with the content providers that tivo doesn't.
I have a 4K tv, and wondered why they didnt have a 4k box, just researched and indeed they do. I don't know why as much as I pay for tv/internet they don't ask if I want to upgrade/swap boxes to the 4k. From a few searches I have done on here it seems at least back then it was only for certain markets.. thats why i'm asking
I am posting here to request communication from a Comcast rep to get an XG1v4 shipped to me. This is what I was told I would be receving when I signed up for new service last week but I received a refurbushed older DVR instead.
Can I request a XG1v4?
As shown on this page
I am doing as the post suggested in order to get a self install kit for the XG1v4
As a reminder the post states:
Yes, please author a new post in this forum requesting one. We are happy to send you a Self Install Kit.
So I am requesting a XG1v4 please.
