Furthermore, Xfinity has ensured that in case a customer faces a technical issue, it can assist them in every possible way. When it comes to technical errors, customers are provided with a code to help them understand what the exact problem is. In this article, we will discuss how Xfinity customers can solve the ‘’Status Code 580’’ error (one of the most common errors).
What Does “Xfinity Status Code 580” Mean?
When customers face the Status Code 580 error, they will lose access to every channel on their TV. They will get to access nothing but a black screen. This simply means that the equipment that customers are currently using is waiting for an authorization signal from the customers’ service provider. Once the signal is received, they allow customers to have access to all the TV channels again.
Simply put, if a customer is not paying for a particular channel, they will never receive the authorization signal sent. But, if the customer is getting the 580 error on a channel that they have paid for, then this is an issue of concern.
Customers should note that this issue mostly occurs from the side of Xfinity. There are only two ways through which customers can resolve this issue. They are discussed below:
1) Try Resetting the Cable Box
The very first step that customers need to ensure is that they are seeing this issue on the channel that they have access to. In some cases, this error code can pop up while the customer is surfing the channel. If customers indeed see this issue on the channel that they are surfing, or on multiple channels that they have access to, this is not an issue of major worry. Customers can easily resolve the issue by simply resting the cable box.
Yes, customers may find this solution a little too easy but by simply restarting or resetting the cable box, customers can easily clear out any bugs that may have accumulated over time within their cable box. But to reset the cable box, customers don’t have a simple button to press, instead, customers will have to unplug all the connections from their cable box to reset their cable box.
After removing all the connections customers have to ensure that they also unplug the power source of the cable box. As soon as all of this is done, customers have to sit back and let the system rest for a while. Then, once a certain amount of time has passed, customers have to plug everything back in and allow the system to boot back up for a few minutes.
This simple step should be able to solve the problem for the majority of the customers. Now all that is required is for customers to scroll through the channels and see if they are running properly. In case customers are still facing the error, it is time to move on to the second step.
2) Get in touch with Xfinity customer support
As already mentioned in the article above, the Status Code error 580 is mostly a problem that comes from the side of Xfinity. If the customer has already tried the above-mentioned solution, and still, they are facing the Status Code error 580 issue, there is most likely a fault from Xfinity’s side.
In this scenario, the only solution that customers have is to contact Xfinity and ask for their assistance in the matter. This solution shouldn’t be tedious or unpleasant for customers since Xfinity support staff is rated one of the best staff in the market. They will for sure guide customers in any issue that they are facing and try to solve the issue as fast as possible.
While contacting the Xfinity support staff customers should ensure that they tell them the exact issue that they are facing.

Furthermore, customers also need to tell them that they are facing this issue on the channels that they have already subscribed to. by providing only this information Xfinity will ensure that customers are getting the help for the exact problem they are facing.
