How about how to connect the TV box to the Xfinity Gateway/modem, instead of just to the wall coax outlet? For those who have Xfinity internet and Xfinity cable box.
Yes very good question my new xFi Gateway just came in
Should you go to tv settings to connect your tv to wifi gateway..
You don't have to connect your tv box to wifi because it have different features .. it was not necessary 😊
That’s what I wanted to know…
@@johnr7632 I fixed mine on my own and I used a cable splitter that connects two cables into one outlet. I winged it by following the cable instructions first then set up instructions for my xFi gateway for wifi after and both worked.
@@argiemanguhig4928sorry but I can’t get connection on both at same time. I already connected my tv to gateway by cable box doesn’t work
I picked up an updated box yesterday. Screen just kept showing No Signal. Ended up attaching rabbit ears antenna. Such a waste of time.🤬 Spoke to an agent on the phone and hoping to get a tech out to the house. Not sure if it's going to happen. Very confusing.
Well great. They did not give me a power cord or any coaxial cable. - and my x1 box is about half the size of the box in this video. I hate Comcast.
Thanks for doing this video. I get intimidated by stuff like this and put off installing it for a .year. your video assured me I could do this. Doing the remote now, 😍 thanks
What about if you don't have a wall outlet to scew the coaxial wire in? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!
How do I connect the cable box dVR and I only have 1 internet box in the living room have this box and I can’t get it to connect
Feeling dumb but confused. They sent 3 new boxes to replace what we have and these are much smaller with no clock etc. Is this legitimately the new X1 box or is there a larger box meant to be the main one with the smaller boxes meant to be used in other rooms i.e. bedroom boxes like before?
Yes
Not pair with our Hisense tv. Can not control volume. Any ideas?
Got one
Got it
I'm on my second box and I keep getting a RDK-03013 error...I've changed my plan accordingly different cables different outlets...any help would be appreciated if seen. Thx
did you figure it out mine is doing the same thing
I don't have a cable outlet anywhere in my house. Can I just use a splitter and get a signal from my internet?
I was not given a hd cable I was given only coaxils and it doesn't want to work.
I cannot get mine to connect to a TCL Roku smarty TV According to insurrections they provide, you can connect the coaxial cable to cable box & TV. They also provide the coax cable. I used the coax cable and it would not connect. Tech support was no help. I wasn't until I used the HDMI cable, which they also provide, then it would connect. Then it connect immediately.
nice video. How do I get favorite channels?
You select guide then scroll left to select the channel you like then hit enter and a menu screen allows you to select view , record or favorite. If you hit guide then guide again you can view your selected menus like favorites
Any idea how to fix when it's stuck on the voice command instructions during setup? Driving me nuts and have yet to find a fix.
Same problem here.
@@paulguyer5805 we finally had xfinity guy come out and fix. He entered a code and worked fine. Something to do with units shipped from central warehouse. Hope you get it fixed.
I gave up two years ago. One of my boxes just collecting dust lol
Should I assume that I will need multiple Cable TV boxes for each TV in my house? Is this true?
You can hook up all your televisions to one cable set top box using a splitter. But by doing so all tv's will be tuned to the same channel. You will need separate set top boxes for each tv if you want to watch different channels on each of the tv's. Hope that makes sense.
What is the model number on this specific X1 Box??
I am currently paying Xfinity for cable tv and Internet service. I am renting the same model set top box as seen in this video. I bought my own Internet modem to avoid the Xfinity monthly rental fee. Now I want to install a second tv and avoid another set top box rental fee. I see brand new Xfinity set top boxes exactly like my current one for sale from third parties. Does anyone know for sure if I purchase one of these Xfinity set top boxes and hook it up to my 2nd tv will it work? Are these things locked until Xfinity sends an unlock signal? Is Xfinity going to want me to register it for another fee of course? Anyone out there who has done this?
Can not connect it to any epson projector
Mine is stuck on welcome screen
I just tried helping my neighbor for 50 minutes and couldn’t get through the setup. Insanely frustrating and I’m usually good with technology.
Mine too. How did you fix it?
Mine is stuck as well, went and got a new box and remote now the remote won’t paid 😫
Did you guys figure it out I’m stuck on it
@@brandonpritts7890 I had the cables wrong the end and out cable was plugged up wrong. I had to program the remote
Is the Sharp TV 📺 the only question or it meant it had number of TV brands being asked?(you did not expand in this y the codes for different brands of TV)
Box or remote will auto detect the TV.. if it did not work it lets you can select codes for the brand until it works.
my cable box is not the same as
My box looks different and connects via ethernet.
Are these boxes supposed to feel warm?
Good question. The new x1 cable box is very warm.
AAAAAAA+++++++++++ Easy clear
Why did you say no to the last question about audio receiver
@@donnadoherty9525 Because an Audio Receiver is a separate device from the TV or the Xfinity cable box and he doesn't have one connected. Most likely you don't either.
I hate when they make a video and we ask questions and ghey just ignore them lol
Man my shit just goes one moment with the ref code that says I need to activate it
same
It does NOT WORK
I’m stuck on welcome screen……any help?
same here , did you figure it out ??
@@Palmyj07 nope tried to get in touch with a human over phone & couldn’t. Will be trying again tomorrow
I got my connected but then my netflix and Samsung tv does not work at all,trouble shoot error pops up??!! Plugged my old one back in works fine!?? Any thoughts?
@@susanlessard2692 if old one works just use that?
@@xxxbigboidraco lols!! Spoke with someone at xfinity,and I dont need new box or old box!! I can download app on my smart TV and stream away,so that's what I'm doin and will return both boxes and save money!! Who knew??? Kyle at xfinity was great!!
if it's stuck on welcome screen you have to swap it unfortunately 😔
Are you sure you have to remove the plastic covers in the HDMI cable??? Lots of wasted time, just get to setting it up and go through ALL of the procedures...
How do you get the female voice to GO AWAY???
She says EVERY option I go to and it's annoying..
I always wear the proper PPE when plugging up my electrical devices…..😂
1:29; rear end: Got to explain this... how on earth would the company make an internet on a cable box? Can't change the channel while there's an internet outtage for NO REASON? I'm talking about even without a phone wire hooked on; that's senseless! Get a grip Xfinity!
Jeezus man, can you go any slower?
I thought it was me he is going slow as ever 😂
it says i have to call 1-800-xfinity
Thanks!
