WAIVE MOVIE RENTAL FEES DURING COVID-19

Since Xfinity isn't losing a penny on this virus outbreak, you'd think they'd waive movie rental fees while we're all stuck at home.

During this COVID health crisis where many of us are under mandatory stay at home orders, wouldn’t it be great if Comcast and other providers offered free on demand movies for a limited time. Just a thought.

Even without a television subscription, you will have access to select content via the Xfinity Stream Website and App. All you need is your Xfinity ID and password to access Xfinity Stream via the app or online portal.

You'd think with this virus impacting the world and a stay at home order, the cable companies would work with these big money scumbags like HBO, Starz, Showtime and Cinemax to offer free services for the next month. Money hungry and just worried about taking money from the poor is all you get. I hope people cancel their services with the all the above during this time!

@Jeannes8503 Apologies for the issue and the experience that you described above. I went ahead and sent a refresh signal to your cable boxes to see if that resolves the issue.

I have had this issue for over two years. Every time there is a “free preview” or “watchathon”, I am unable to get anything free. Yes, I know it’s only “on demand”. I’ve talked to over ten people at Xfinity who were unable to fix the issue. There is an issue with the code on the box, apparently, and it’s never been fixed.
I know other people have reported the exact same issue. WHY CAN’T THIS BE CORRECTED?!?!
Last time I talked to someone, I thought it was fixed. I could finally get the programming. Got an email a couple hours later that she had SUBSCRIBED me to the channel without telling me I would have to pay!!! Stupid...

Only fix seems to be making you subscribe which defeats the whole purpose.
Just seems like they would have someone working on it. I know I’m not the only one with the issue.

  • Speaking of which, anyone know if and when we are having WATCHATHON? I am getting my free STARZ. They mix $$Starz/Encore in with it under "Starz Free Preview or Premium Channel Starz.

Just a suggestion. How about working to get a free month of on demand as we are all sitting at home with no to little pay? Or possibly a care program like PG&E is offering to reduce rates?

Even the free month trials aren’t working. Says free, my bill is paid, still can’t get the movie.

I just think offering a free month would be a crazy incentive. And not just movies, the fitness channels are SO very needed right now.
