FETV works on primary box but not on additional X1 boxes

On my basic subscription, I am getting FETV on channel 1095 on my primary box but, for some reason, it no longer shows up on my additional mini X1 boxes.  Do I need to exchange these mini boxes for updated versions to get that channel back?

user_7kwa36 Thanks for reaching out! The FETV Channel has moved to High Definition. If your additional TV boxes don't support HD service, the channel may not be available.

@XfinityMartyR​ After waiting for 3 weeks, I have yet to receive a confirmation of my replacement request.  When I now go to the website again, I can fill out the form but the response now is always "something went wrong.  Try again."   Arghhhh.  Bad experience and no High Def mini boxes.

Hello @user_wp7rd4 While that is an opportunity to be proactive we cannot send customers new equipment without their consent or approval and have no way of telling if they watched that channel specifically. If you are being impacted by this change we would be more than happy to upgrade any standard def boxes you have. Send us a direct message with your full name and the service address, and we can help you out.
