Welcome to XFINITY® TV 
What You Need to Know
We’re enhancing our network so you will have access to a new level of entertainment so you can enjoy it your way. To enjoy the great benefits of this enhancement, you need the right digital equipment on each of your TVs — like a Digital Set‑Top Box or this Universal Digital Transport Adapter (uDTA).
With this uDTA, you’ll receive:
•  Crisp digital picture and sound.
•  Your current channels, plus access to additional channels.
XFINITY® reinvents entertainment so you can enjoy it your way.
What You Need to Do
To keep receiving the channels you’re used to, you’ll need to make sure that every T V in your home is equipped with one of our all‑digital devices (either a uDTA, like the one in this kit, or a Digital Set‑Top Box).
Every TV Will Need One Device
Digital Set-Top Box Universal Digital Transport Adapter (uDTA)
A Digital Set-Top Box will allow you to receive the channels you currently have, as well as On Demand programming and our on‑screen channel guide.
Living Room

If you currently have one of our Analog Cable Boxes, you’ll need to replace it with either a uDTA or a Digital 
Set‑Top Box. If you’re not sure what type of cable box you currently have, or have any questions related to your uDTA, please visit comcast.com/digitalnow for more information.

Troubleshooting and FAQs
What do I do if the rem ote control does not work?
•   Make sure the batteries are inserted correctly.
•   Make sure your remote can “see” the front of the uDTA or refer to the Remote Control User’s Guide for  instructions on “pairing” your remote to the uDTA.
If there is no light illuminated on the front of the uDTA:
•   Make sure the power cord is attached to the uDTA and plugged into a live electrical outlet.
If there is no picture on the TV and the light on the uDTA is blinking:
•   Make sure you have contacted Comcast to activate the uDTA.
•   Wait a few minutes. If the light is still blinking, call Comcast at 1-888-634-4434.
If there is no picture on the TV and the light on the uDTA is solid:
•   Make sure the TV and uDTA are both set to the same channel (both 3, or both 4).
•   Try switching the T V and uDTA to the other channel (3 or 4).
•   If you’re also connected to a VCR, make sure the VCR is turned on.
•   Make sure the uDTA is connected directly to the cable wall outlet.
•   Make sure all the cables are rmly connected.
Which cable should I use to connect my uDTA to my TV (HDMI vs. Coax)?
•   Your uDTA can be operated in standard-denition or in high-denition (HD service required).
•   For high-denition viewing, you would use the HDMI cable (refer to the HDMI cable connection diagram on  page 8).
•   For standard-denition viewing, you will need to use the coax cable connection (refer to the coax cable 
connection diagram on page 9).
Why do I see black bars on the sides of my TV screen?
•   There may be several reasons that you are seeing black bars on your TV. Here are the most common:
   Check the screen size settings on your TV (refer to the TV user guide/owner’s manual to make sure that it 
is in the 16x9 mode).
   If you do not subscribe to our HD service, you will not be able to view HD channels and may see the black 
bars on the sides of your T V indicating that the picture is in standard‑definition.
   Check the channel guide to see if the channel is delivered in HD.
I have HD — why can’t I see HD picture?
•   Make sure you are using the HDMI cable included with your kit and that it is connected to the HDMI input on  your TV and HDMI output on your uDTA.
•   Make sure your TV input source is set to HDMI (refer to T V menu or user guide for instructions on how to 
change the TV input).
Is my remote control a universal remote? 
•   The remote supplied with your uDTA will control your TV and uDTA. It will not control other equipment, such  as DVD players or recorders, or VCRs.
