Are you on X1 or Flex, or do you Stream?

When on the 23rd does this start? When I tune to these channels on my DVR, it says I need a subscription to view them.

I have an X1. So we don’t really have access to the channels and can’t record anything? We have to stream from the selections shown via “Free TV Week” on the remote? Ugh.

@PRT940 Glad to hear you have our awesome X1 TV equipment. You can watch Xfinity Free TV Week programming for free on your X1 TV Boxes and Xfinity Stream (with your Xfinity ID and password).

 

Watch Xfinity Free TV Week November 23-29 across our Xfinity On Demand platforms. During this week, you can watch select channels and seasons of shows without having a subscription for the channel. Available content varies on X1, Flex and Stream.

 

*All Xfinity customers, including non-Xfinity TV customers (Xfinity Internet-only, Xfinity Home-only, etc.), can watch Xfinity Free TV Week programming for free with their Xfinity ID and password via Xfinity Stream. Note that not all the free content will be available to them.

The free channels cannot be watched directly. You have to access content for the free channels on demand. For example, if you are trying to watch "Power Book II: Ghost," you have to access the episodes on demand, NOT by tuning in to the actual Starz channel.

I already have HBO/MAX. Paramount + and Peacock. "I tried to watch movies on PRIME and HULU, today on Nov. 23rd, and I must sign up for a 30-day free trial, not watch FREE programing. I clicked through the On Demand link to FREE Channels. Misleading. I do not want to be scammed with a FREE TRIAL.

Thank you for posting your Free TV Week question. When attempting to access Free TV Week content on Prime and Hulu are you navigating their via the Free TV Week banner/content or directly to the app on your X1 or Flex device? Please remember Free TV Week content can only be accessed via the Free TV Week banner or content. The apps themselves will still require a valid active login to go there and scroll through that content. The easiest way to access all available Free TV Week content is to say "Free TV Week" into your Voice Remote or by navigating to the Free TV Week section OnDemand. 

We hope this addresses your concerns. Please let me know if you have any other questions or comments related to Free TV Week.

Why aren't the streaming services, like HBO Max and Amazon Prime, offering everything in their catalog for free for the week?  Also, there's no Lifetime Channel with free offerings "and More" as it says in the box proclaiming the free week! What a BIG letdown!

@johncrusso select the Xfinity button, click on "Free TV Week," scroll down to "Free TV Week Networks," and select the network you want to watch. Amazon Prime is limited to three series on their platform.

Thank you for posting your question related to Free TV Week. We apologize for the confusion, only select content from Premium networks are available during Free TV Week. This means the entire catalog of content from HBO Max and Amazon Prime is not available during this event. Additionally, we do not have any Free TV Week content offered by Lifetime Channel during this event. The easiest way to find all available content for Free TV Week is to simply say "Free TV Week" into your Voice Remote or navigate to the Free TV Week content OnDemand.

So to clarify: After trying to watch free content on my Flex box, I don't actually have free access to HBO Max this week, I only have free access to a few shows from HBO Max that you've chosen. And the one and only show on that service that I'm interested in, Ghosts, is not listed among the options in your free section and so not watchable. Is that correct?

This free week is a scam...set it on my calendar, was excited to watch King Richard from HBO Max.  Nope.  Only letting us watch HBO content loaded by Xfinity.  Can't watch "HBO Max" content through Xfinity.... Super misleading...and is any of the Amazon content working?

@HBICMU Amazon is limited to three series, "Bosch," "Hanna" and "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," and only the 1st season of each. Free content for HBO Max and Prime Video can be accessed through Xfinity Stream. If you have a Roku streaming device, the Xfinity Stream app is available through there. I'm not sure if Xfinity Stream is on Amazon's Firestick. On the X1 or Flex platforms, select the Xfinity button, click on "Free TV Week," scroll down to "Free TV Week Networks," and select the network you want to watch. Available free content can be viewed there.

@M_Hudson_Jr Nope. HBO Max is NOT free. If it truly is, tell us SPECIFICALLY how to watch the movie King Richard, starring Will Smith.

It would be advisable to let your LOYAL SUBSCRIBERS know what happens when you decide to change programming due to your marketing strategies. Again thanks for nothing as we always continue to pay for service!

IF I SAY "FREE T.V. WEEK" IT DEFINITELY SHOWS THAT KING RICHARD SHOULD BE AVAILABLE. BUT IS NOT. NOPE. LIE. NOT WORKING WITHOUT PAYING. SO NOT FREE ... SOMEONE MIGHT WANT TO FIX THAT.

King Richard shows under the Free TV section, however, it is only available if I pay.

FREE TV WEEK; not really! Also trying to watch Kind Richard on HBO Max; spent over an hour yesterday trying to follow prompts, keeps sending me to a screen to order the service. Also called and spent over an hour on the phone and the technician couldn't help and the called ended before any resolution. I did figure out that you have to go on Xfinity on Demand and login to access some movies. Again; not the one I want, but better than nothing.

User-daadb8, I’m having the same experience. Friends have been able to access King Richard, but I can’t, without buying the HBO Max subscription through Xfinity. I hope Xfinity will spell out ALL of the exact steps here, or correct whatever problem we are encountering.

All, reading the first post in a thread usually will give you all of the information you need to understand what you can and cannot watch under the Free Preview.

From @XfinityPeterH's post:

*All Xfinity customers, including non-Xfinity TV customers (Xfinity Internet-only, Xfinity Home-only, etc.), can watch Xfinity Free TV Week programming for free with their Xfinity ID and password via Xfinity Stream. Note that not all the free content will be available to them.

From @XfinityJessie's original post:

This is only a preview; it doesn't give you access to all content.

And, here again, you need to be on X1, Flex, or Streaming in order to view this.

If you would read the posts you are responding to, you will see that several of us were unable to view ANYTHING without paying for HBO. The first post does not address our concerns, and neither do other posts.

Just to clarify, "King Richard" is specifically shown as a movie that we should be able to access during Free TV week. But when clicking on the icon for it, and after entering login info, etc., there seems to be no way to see it without paying for an HBO subscription.

As usual Xfinity Free TV Week 2021 is not actually free. I just tried to watch Starz, it says I have to subscribe to watch the channel. Ironically, I use to have Starz as part of my existing package but Xfinity took it away and replaced it with 3 Epix channels! Those channels always seem to have the same movies on all 3 channels! They are also the worst movies too! I am an X1 customer and pay a lot for less channels. Please don't tell me to watch it on my computer, tablet or phone. I would like to watch what is supposed to be free on my TV and not to subscribe! Thanks.

@Laurie3101 You have to watch the Starz content on demand. The channels themselves are NEVER enabled during the free week (like the old days before cable boxes). If you say "Starz on demand" in your remote, you should be able to access the content.

Hello, Laurie3101! Thanks for posting here on our Community forums. I'm sorry to hear about your recent experience. To confirm, are you accessing the channel or On-demand content? Have you tried saying "Free TV Week" into your Voice Remote? Would you be able to confirm if any Starz content is listed when you do?

Thanks for confirming, fortunately, there are other ways to check your access without the voice command. You can try the following on your X1 box: 

 

  • On Demand > TV > Free TV Week
  • On Demand > Networks > Free TV Week

I agree with everyone who's posted about this.  Not only can't you watch King Richard, but when you call customer support for information about free tv week (which I've done about 3 times so far) they have no idea what I'm talking about.  This is a worthless Free TV week if you can't watch anything that you really want to.
