I'm telling you Xfinity. If you don't fix this Disney+ Ads freezing and crashing problem, you're going to lose a ton of customers. 😡

Hi @user_7t4zo6, We would be more than happy to assist and troubleshooting. Are you experiencing issues with other application or live linear TV?

I was on the phone with a Disney+ and Xfinity agent today! Disney+ fully admitted that it is their problem/issue and they gave me a $30 One month credit because of it.

They told me it is fully an Xfinity problem. Either way, it’s not working and needs to be fixed before we are all continued to be charged.

I am one of the original posters to report this issue and after a few back and forth exchanges with the so-called Xfinity online experts, I have been sitting back to observe the additional communications that have transpired over the last few months. I am appalled at the lack of technical expertise, intellectual curiosity, attention to details and an overall lack of desire to devote resources to fix this issue displayed by every Xfinity technician who has chimed in along the way.  READ all the f'in posts before asking each customer the same useless questions and suggesting remedies that do not work. Read this very clearly Xfinity... ONLY WHEN USING THE X1 CABLE BOX, ONLY THE DISNEY+/HULU APP FREEZES DURING COMMERCIAL BREAKS AND WILL NOT CONTINUE UNTIL BACKING OUT OF THE PROGRAM WE ARE WATCHING AND THEN HIT RESUME BACK TO THE COMMERCIALS. SOMETIMES THAT WORKS, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. WATCHING AN HOUR LONG SHOW TAKES 2-3 HOURS BECUASE OF ALL THE INTERRUPTIONS. WE HAVE ALL HARD RFBOOTED OUR CABLE BOXES, CHANGED THE SETTINGS, REMOVED THE CACHE... DONE ALL THE SUGGESTIONS AND IT DOESN'T DO [Edited: Language]. THE ISSUE IS THE HANDSHAKE BETWEEN THE X1 PLATFORM FOR WHICH WE PAY MEGABUCKS AND THE DISNEY+/HULU APP. IF WE WANTED TO WATCH THIS APP VIA STREAMING, WE WOULDN'T NEED THE X1 BOX, WOULD WE?  FIX THE ISSUE! CONTACT DISNEY+/HULU, AND GET THIS DONE NOW!

Exactly what he said this issue has gone on WAY too long. Stop wasting customers time asking them to “try” things you know will not fix “your” problem.

Is this ever escalated out of the forum? Can we ever get a real supervisor to chime in? And don’t ask me to waste more time on a call or ask me what I’ve already tried. We’ve established that.

Third-party issues can be quite complex to resolve as there are many moving pieces, @user_a82f8r. We do indeed escalate issues to our advanced support and engineering team if the issue calls for it. This issue was brought to our advanced support team again a few days ago, and they shared with us that this known issue that. The patch is being worked on by Disney, and with that being the case there is not much that can be done on our side of things. You have attempted most of the workarounds suggested. If the issue still persist the next step would be waiting until the team at Disney can get this resolved. As someone that uses streaming services for most of my media I can certainly understand how rough of an experience this has been for you. At this time we do not have an estimated time of resolution, but the right folks have been made aware of this issue.
