Xfinity Free TV Week 2021

@user_4f126e 

"Starting Tuesday, November 23 through Monday, November 29, Xfinity customers will have access to a huge selection of premium content at no additional cost across X1, Flex, and Stream as part of Free TV Week."

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

"click on HBO MAX??" they're not giving you a subscription Lol !! you're allowed to watch content from premium networks such as HBO Max, STARZ, and EPIX  through XFINITY either using your X1 / Xfinity Flex Box, or Xfinity.com/stream ... u still gotta go through XFINITY 

@user_4f126e

I don't get it. It is supposed to be free week. But IE when I click on HBO Max to watch a TV series Young Sheldon. It is wanting me to sign up and nothing is free.

Thank you for posting your question, as mentioned by our Expert @Again and @user_634533, you will only be able to access free HBO Max content through your X1, Flex, or Xfinity Stream Website/App. Please let us know if you have any other questions or continue to have any further issues watching HBO Max content during Free TV Week. 
 

It is not free it's asking to pay

Hello and thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on our Xfinity forums! I'm sorry to hear you aren't able to access a show you'd like to enjoy during our free TV week. Can you please tell me how you are trying to view the show (X1 box, Flex box or the Xfinity Stream app) as well as the channel and name of the show so I can better assist you?

Do any of those apply to you?

@PRT940 

Thank you for posting your Free TV Week question. As mentioned by our Expert @Again, Free TV Week begins today, November 23 through Monday, November 29. The easiest way to find Free TV Week content on your X1 or Flex is to say "Free TV Week" into your Voice Remote. 

We hope this helps. Please let us know if you need any additional assistance. 

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.

@Bluzbunny

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. 

@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.

@johnc4 

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. 

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

@sarawithanh

Thank you for posting your Free TV Week question. We apologize for the confusion, only select content from Premium networks is available during Free TV Week. This means that you will not have access to the complete library of HBO Max content during this event. During this week's event, the show Ghosts is not being offered by that content provider.

The easiest way to find all available Free TV Week content is to say "Free TV Week" into your Voice Remote or by searching the OnDemand area for our Free TV Week banner. 

Please let us know if you have any other questions or comments related to Free TV Week. 

@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!

@XfinityJessie

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.

@XfinityJessie 

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

@user_ed0fc9 Free content is available for those on X1, Flex, or Streaming.  Do any of those apply to you?

@Again 

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.

@RP15 are you on X1, Flex or Streaming?

@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? 

@XfinityDilary

No, it does not work at all.

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 

@Laurie3101 

Thank you for posting your Free TV Week questions. We sincerely apologize for the issues you may be experiencing. During the Free TV Week event only select content from Premium networks are available. This means you will not be able to access the content via the Starz channels. The easiest way to find all the Free TV Week content is to say "Free TV Week" into your Voice Remote or navigate to the Free TV Week area of OnDemand as mentioned by @XfinityEva 

Please let us know if you have any other questions or comments related to Free TV Week. 

@user_ab102c Hello and thank you for taking the time to reach out. I am sorry to hear there is some frustration regarding free TV week. Are you using our stream app via the firestick when you are trying to access content? Also, may I ask what content you are trying to access?

@user_ab102c

We apologize for the confusion, Free TV Week content is only available via the Free TV Week section of OnDemand. Navigating to an individual app will result in the need to subscribe. The easiest way to access all available Free TV Week content is to say "Free TV Week" into your Voice Remote or navigate to the Free TV Week section of OnDemand. 

We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions or comments related to Free TV Week.
