Re: xfinity on xbox error code 808

Interesting,

 

I have Business Class Internet and Xfinity Residential Cable. I read this forum topic and contacted Support via Chat with hopes there support system had a resolution-solution.

 

After 35 minutes, I was told 4 times the only solution is to cancel Business Class Internet and register with Xfinity Residential Internet.

 

While frustrating that comcast has not provided there support with a resonable solution or statement, it is more strange that I spent 45 min in total getting no where.

 

COMCAST / XFINITY - PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH a SOLUTION

 

Problem: Error Code 808 / Latest Docsis 3 SMC modem / Business Inet / Res. TV

 I am sorry but Business Class is not eligible. You must be a XFINITY Residential Internet subscriber to be eligible.


Please check out the FAQ for all requirements:

Re: xfinity on xbox error code 808

Xfinity sucks! I downloaded the application on Xbox for some reason expected it to work since I have the residential internet and television but God forbid I get the service I pay for. Then I spend 30 minutes on hold waiting for the next available service representative only to get "disconnected".. more wasted money for Xfinity and comcast.. Comcast how about you make your applications usable before you false advertise it to all the customers who pay your salary..

Thanks Joe!

 

I just spoke with someone who was able to help me.  Now I dont have error 808, but now I have error 5

 

 

UPDATE:  Thank you - You and the comcast team have solved the problem

 

• Error 808 is a "rate" issue in the modem

• Team corrected this

• Error 5 - Just had to wait a few hours for it to flow through the system

• Up and running

Re: xfinity on xbox error code 808

residential, xbox gold, should fit all criteria. I called today and was transferred to an outside department that was fee based. $79 one time fee for single item fix or $39 fee plus $5 per month fee for subscription. Is this necessary to fix this 808 error code?

Re: xfinity on xbox error code 808

Finally got my problem fixed. The root cause of the problem is because comcast need to enter a xbox code into the system in order to actviate and sync up the xfinity service on xbox. talking to regular comcast support is a waste of time, because 1. they dont have the product knowledge and 2. they don't have the tool. this is wha you need to do:

 

1. call regular comcast support

2. ask them to transfer you to comcast signature support

3. once you got connected, they will ask you for the ticket number, say you got transferred and tell them your problem

4. they might transfer you again(teir 3???)

5. tell them the problem, at this point, the rep is very technical and they should be able to fix your problem from this point

Re: xfinity on xbox error code 808

I get the same error 808! I've call CS and they transferred me to a person who pretty much told me my network was set up wrong. Then he tried to sell me a product that would have a tech come to my home to "fix" the problem. I know how to set up a network! I can use this app on all other mediums except my Xbox. I was then told to call another number that was Xbox specific. They told me they woul call back in 72 hours and never did. I pretty much gave up at this point. My wife thinks I should just cancel the cable service, but I don't want to. I'm thinking about it though.

Re: xfinity on xbox error code 808

I'm so frustrated with Comcast-Xfinity. I keep getting error 808 on my xbox live when I try to log into the xfinity app, and I also have the Xfinity bundle pack. It works through my computer and laptop. just not the xbox live. Whenever I call comcast they act like they have nothing to do w/ x-box live. I call xbox live and they try everything they can to fix the problem, but persist that the problem is on Xfinity's side. This is the whole reason I went through Comcast/Xfinity, I guess if it doesn't work soon and be canceling everything through comcast.

I too am receiving the 808 error code. My xbox username is edsblack81.

Please clarify.  I have 3 DVR's with Comcast Cablecards in my home, as well as an Arris 602G Telephone/Data modem; I have no Comcast owned Cable tuners.

 

Should I be able to use the Xbox Xfinity On Demand or not?

Re: xfinity on xbox error code 808

Joe, 

 

I've already consulted those resources, which is what lead to my original post.  I find them incomplete and contradictory.  In one answer it states that you will have an xfinity set top box, but then in the next answer it states that customers with cable cards are supported.  So which is it?

 

As for the modem compatibility, that is a question mark too, which is why I gave you the information about my modem.  For starters, the page doesn't list my speed tier, performance plus, so I am basing my guess on the modem listed under the performance tier.  That aside, the compatibility specs say the modem has to be D2 or D3.  Leaving aside the fact that those abbreviations aren't defined anywhere, I assume that means the DOCSIS version number.  The provided resource highlights which modems are DOCSIS 3 , but says nothing about version 2.  How is anyone supposed to know unless they work in the narrow corner of telecommunications where the acronym DOCSIS has any meaning?  

 

I pay for on demand service but have only cablecards.  With the exception of my two questions above i seem to meet the requirements for the service to work.  You work for my service provider and have access to more resources and a better understanding of the underlying service than I could ever develop as a customer.

 

Could you please tell me whether, in your best understanding of my situation, I should expect the Xbox service to work, or not?

Sorry ComcastJoe but This sounds like a broken record. Everyone has the same problem and no real solution has been posted other than "Our team is looking into it." 

 

I checked this out about 6 months ago and gave up. Now I am back looking for a solution and still none other than the same song and dance, Were looking into it. 

 

How about a solution already please?

Usually, it is a rate code issue and needs to be added to your account. There is no one fix that will resolve everything. Each issue has to be dealt with individually.
