Same thing happened to me, re-adding the favorites doesn't update the guide. The fact that they persist on the app, but not the box seems like it might be a system thing.

@XfinityNatalie​ I had 81 in my favorites.  I’ve been adding them back one by one.  I only use my favorites menu because most channels you offer I don’t watch.  Ever.

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.

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'm having the same problem with my box.

Favorites are still showing on the streaming app

I tried the fix mentioned earlier but it did not work

I also reset my box - nothing

Happened to me just now. How do we fix this? A very big programming error for the price we pay.

Makes no sense but it seems everyone had the problem. I had to go through and choose favorites again. A pain to go through all the channels again, but it did save.
