Unactivated Subscription

I was recently given a new Xi6-A TV box to replace an old one that went bad.  I could find no instructions anywhere on how to use the box.  As a result I accidentally signed up for an Acorn TV subscription.  I do not need this as I already have a subscription with them.  I have not activated the subscription.  How can I delete it?

That did not work, I think because I had not activated the app.  I finally was able to get somone at Xfinity on the phone (not easy) and they solved the problem by entering a new order for my serivce and removing the AcornTV subscription.

user_fg3mj4 I'm sorry to hear the instructions I gave you didn't work. Thank you for the update. Good news is you were able to get it taken off. Are there any other concerns we can assist you with at this time?
