Getting the TCM channel restored to my service package
I have two DVRs with grandfathered cable card TiVo DVRs which were working with the X1 Preferred Pro service package and a sports and entertainment package add on. On the 12th of November 2025 I made an inquiry to a Xfinity on line agent about a Gateway offer that was texted to me. The live agent tried to sell me on getting the latest Gateway. I wanted more detail about the offer before I made a decision but before the agent could provide me with the detail my internet went down and we were disconnected. About 10 minutes later when my internet began operating again, I got an email with a change to my service plan which I had not authorized. I got back to another Xfinity live agent and told the person that my plan had been changed without my authorization and I wanted my previous service plan restored. The agent said it would be and confirmed it was restored. However, the next day I no longer received the TCM channel. When I went to a Xfinity service center and complained about the lose of this service I was told they could add the sports and entertainment package back on to my account so I could get the TCM channel until they found out I was using cable cards. They were hesitant to add the the sports and entertainment package back on to my account for fear that because I had cable cards I might lose all my channels so we left things alone. Tonight I tried to see if I had an option to add the sports and entertainment package to my account; but the option was not there. I don't understand that if a week ago I was able to get the TCM channel, what has changed that keeps me from getting this channel again? I now have the Ultimate package which I didn't authorize but is working fine. Is there a problem adding back the TCM channel? And if there is no problem, why can't I subscribe to the sports and entertainment package which I was subscribed to a week ago?

Good evening, @user_pc0byd! I am sorry to hear that your plan was changed and that you are still unable to access TCM. I love it when they have Oscars month and watch it a lot myself. We are happy to further help with getting that added back. We will also send feedback to the proper channels regarding the agent you were working with when the change happened.
