Long story ... updated main box.  Didn't work properly.  Service tech dispatched.  Yada yada ... on the 4th box.  That is finally working but small boxes can no longer get regular programming.  DVR works, streaming works.  Two more techs sent out.  Boxes upgraded to new wifi.  Things work for a day and then we get the above error code.  Boxes obviously work, link to comcast obviously works.  Seems to me that every evening when Comcast downloads updates we lose our channels.  Seems like somewhere in the process of upgrading and then downgrading something happened to our record.  This has been going on for over a month.  I can't begin to tell you how many phone calls to level one helpdesk and software refreshes have been done.  How do I (and money for services I am not getting) on this problem.

@XfinityAdrienne​ Turns out that the third time (3rd tech) was the charm.  By eliminating the master box and going all wireless the problem was resolved.  Took a long time to get there and probably something that the help desk should have seen.  There were initial problems with the upgrade/downgrade of the master box but they were made worse when help desk shipped me wireless boxes for other screens.  In the end, all is well.  One other issue that should be resolved is every time a tech was sent out to try to resolve problem I was charged $100.  This resulted in yet another call to Comcast to get rid of the charges.  Whole thing was a very difficult process.  Truly made me think about other TV solutions.
