I am in absolute LOVE with this new box!! OH MY GOD! It really is amazing.

Great, good luck with it then.

However, there are still a few wrinkles to be ironed out with it. See this recent thread on the Comcast Help and Support Forum:

X1 mini-review from a new customer

EDIT: There is also this thread on that forum that discusses current X1 issues: »forums.comcast.com/t5/Xf ··· /1383321

FYI - Here are some more recent threads on the Comcast Help and Support Forum on X1 status and issues:

FYI - For all you X1 users, from this post (»forums.comcast.com/t5/Xf ··· 9#M63459) on the Comcast Help and Support Forum, it looks like there's a dedicated X1 support hotline for you to use:
Hey just so you guys know, we have our own dedicated x1 box support line. Three I times I've called someone answered immediately no prompts or computers. It took me by surprise at first. Here it is 877-896-8678.
