L1ngus Thank you for reaching out for help with the Free to me filters, providing shows/channels you do not have access to. That is a great question. I know some free-to-me options may be available on more than one platform, and only 1 of them provides the free viewing options. If you could provide some more details, like the show you are looking for or the channel you are still seeing, that would be a great help. Also, have you made any recent changes to your account that may have changed the lineup options for your account?

When in INFINITY>SEARCH, I typed in two separate series: White Lotus, then Rooster.  Each indicated the video series was "FREE TO ME".

Today I see a bill due August 1st, 2026 for $33+.  WHY?  What's your story?

Thanks for taking time to post on our Xfinity Community Forums page, @user_tb4x62. The Free To Me section often provides access to certain titles for a select amount of time. Were you able to check your billing statement online to see what the charges were related to?

The question is:  Why can't Xfinity be upfront about charging for a freebie? 

I understand the concept: FREE IF YOU SIGN UP FOR A TRIAL.  But this was never the case. 

I did end up calling Xfinity Billing and talking with Drei about this bill.

Explanation: When in Xfinity>SEARCH>(under FILTERS) Free TO ME  I selected ROOSTER ES1EP1.

Found out today I billed for a FREE TO ME.

So, like a lot of other freebies, what it really means is pay first, then you get it for free!

Xfinity never asked or said there was a fee to play.

@user_tb4x62, this one is an odd one, and I understand where you're coming from. Typically, if you were making a purchase or going to be billed for something you would be prompted to agree to the charges during the process. I'd like to do everything I can help provide resolution on this. Please send a direct message including your full name and service address, and we can get started anytime.
