I've tried that with multiple channels, and it doesn't make a difference. The channels that are re-added show up, but the other channels that were previously available are still not present.

When I go to favorites I get a message of how to set up a favorites guide. My channels are still marked as favorites, but there is no favorites guide.

@XfinityMelinda​ you told a previous member you would talk to them in chat.  So is somebody going to update the rest of us here?

Same issue here. The streaming app on my computer has all my favorites, but my TV boxes are all missing my Favorites. And trying the "Add" a channel to Favorites, adds only the one channel selected without refreshing the rest of the Favorites. 

Sorry but this has to be one of the worst snafu's done by a programmer at Xfinity and pushed automagically out to everyone. I pay too much for a service to do something like this.

I tried the fix mentioned earlier but it did not work

I also reset my box - nothing
