is there a text message too? for example DRM error? are you using a windows PC or an apple PC or a Chromebook?
Well this certainly isn't encouraging. This problem began in April/May 2017 and here it is July, 2018 and I have been having the problem for the past couple of months. May be time to cancel Xfinity.

are you connected to your home Xfinity wifi (not the xfinitywifi SSID)? does your modem/gateway's numbers match the numbers shown for your equipment modem at https://secure.xfinity.com/profile/#devices
XBox, Roku, PS4, all work - Comcast appears to be intentionally blocking the use of Android TV devices. This has been going on for at least 1 year, maybe 2 years at this point.
I can help get this fixed. Can you please verify your first and last name, and the phone number or account number associated with your services in a private message?

in searching the forum (top of page) it appears that the last answer I can find was in 2016 where an Official Employee replied that there are no plans to allow use of HBOgo subscriptions on android TVs.
I hate to say it this way,
These days, the browsers handle all that. Linux runs stock Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. All three browsers use either HTML5 or Flash to do this. It's not an OS thing, at least not anymore.
I can log into any channel WWW site (ESPN, TNT, USA, etc.) using my Xfinity credentials and watch their streams on my Linux desktop. I can also use Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime video. These are all large media businesses like yours, and if they were that concerned Linux's support of DRM, they would shut it off as well. So I'm just not buying it.
Join the 21st century! Please support Linux!
wrote: It isn't that we "prevent it" it is that we are unable to support it because of existing Digital Rights Management systems that are incompatible with Linux. Also, before switching to another provider, I'd double check that they actually do support Linux.
Adobe Flash must die...until it does, I don't think there is any chance we will get to stream Xfinity on Linux.
Does anyone in this thread use a Chromebook? I tried this method for streaming Xfinity that involves using a Chromebook image, but have not been able to make it work. I'd like to know if Xfinity works on a native chrome os.
EDIT: I just read the post from sbennett372 that says streaming tv does work on Chromebook. Might have to try it again.

works well on an up-to-date software chromebook. you can even add the android version of the stream tv app but it seems to be a little sluggish compared to the streaming website.
Hi temporary-me,
It appears that way until a change is made.
I am having the same problem! ALL other channels work fine...fox news is garbled ! comcast owned by msnbc .. FAKE NEWS..very biased! switching to another service and guarantee I will bring at the min 15 more ppl with me!
Can you advise what tv she bought? I just bought one today and no luck downloading the app....mine is 32" m4500
I wanted to watch the older show "Snooki and Jwow" but I can't because all of the bigger corporations only care about money. I was watching the new season of "Jersey Shore Family Vacation" and I saw a throwback to the older show that Snooki and Jwow did, so I wanted to watch it. I couldn't find it anywhere on the my on demand service, or on the Xfinity steaming website or app, so I went to the MTV website. Xfinity is like the only cable company not listed on there. So I googled it and there are so many conflicting stories. Some say it's Viacom's fault, others say it's Xfinity's fault, but one thing is for sure, it's not my fault or anyone else that pays for these services. It's sad and it just boils down to greed. I pay almost $300 a month for internet/cable and landline phone service and to not have access to a show that is YEARS old is horrible. I know I'm just going to get a generic "we strive to provide the best service" and "We fully understand your frustration but it's not our fault".... But I just wanted to post this so that it's noted somewhere that with the amount of money we pay as customers we should have full access to a network's back catalog, especially in 2018.
Get a Roku! They have a free Xfinity Beta App that works great! It is basically like having an additional box.
I was shocked when I discovered that HBO Go isn't supported on my new android tv. Ridiculous!
Mine is down too! I agree. Suspicious.
