I just did the steps again and this time it worked!!!

I just started at step 5 (for about the 10th time ON jULY 27) because the "activate' banner is there. No change. Peacock gives me the free sampler and says I don't have a subscription when I go to the account tab. I had trouble making it work months ago when they first gave it away, sadly I...

A while back I received notice that Peacock was no longer going to be free along with my Xfinity internet. Then about 10 days ago I got an email saying it was free again and gave instructions to activate it again. However each time I log into Peacock the system kicks me into the payment screen...

BOHICA! :oops:

Thank you for the replies. I think we're ok unless one of the receivers dies.

We have VIP211K and a VIP222K receivers. Does anyone know the date that these will stop working? Will Dish replace these free-of-charge and without a new contract if they stop working because they either die or Dish turns them off? Sorry if the answer is somewhere else on this forum.

We have VIP 211K & 222K receivers which I know are old. When they die....

Great, pay more get less. And of course we're into the 'Contract negotiations' on some of the VERY FEW channels that we watch so they're not viewable. If only I could teach my wife to use the smart TV apps!!!

That's what I figured I'd be told so that's why I did what I did by connecting my modem directly to the cable box :-). Thank you to everyone that’s been offering advice to this amateur and his perceived problem. In regards to the channel issue, someone earlier pointed out that in spite of the...

Ok, so not to worry about the channels. How theses that appear every 3 or 4 minutes? Time Priority Description Thu Jan 01 00:26:36 1970 3 No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=b0:da:f9:ed:d1:3d;CMTS-MAC=00:01:5c:96:6e:50;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Sat May 06 17:53:58...

The SB6141 wasn't broken (yet) but whenever my wife says something along the lines of shouldn't you....and I don't... guess what? She mentioned the modem so I replaced it. The SB6190 is faster but with what I do it's just a 'feel good'. Anyways my plan is up to 200 downstream and up to 10...

Both my down and upload speeds exceed my plan speed by about 10% so on that point I'm happy. This is the upload even after pulling the plug on the router, waiting a few minutes and plugging it back in...

Please let me know where to look if this is the wrong forum. I just purchased an Arriss SB6190 modem to replace the SB6141 which hasn't been supported by Xfinity for quite some time. Up front, when I do a Speedtest.net or use the Xfinity speed check everything is within my speed range that I...

It is. Thank you very much!

My wife hopes you are successful! Thank you for your efforts.
