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.

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 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.

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!

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?

@Bluzbunny, @johncrusso, @sarawithanh & @HBICMU
Thank you for posting your questions and we apologize for the confusion. During Free TV Week 2021, only select content from premium networks is available. The easiest way to find available content is in the Free TV Week section of your X1 or Flex device or by simply saying "Free TV Week" into your Voice Remote.
Again, we apologize for the confusion. Please let us know if you have any other questions or need anything else.

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.

User_daadb8, exact same experience. Wants me to sign in for the service. Called customer support, who had no idea - waisted an hour. Very misleading advertising :-(

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:
Here are just a few of the hit movies and shows available to enjoy as part of Free TV Week: HBO Max's Succession and Godzilla vs. Kong, STARZ's Power Book II: Ghost and Outlander, Peacock's Saved by the Bell, Prime Video's Season 1 of Hanna, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Bosch.
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.

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.

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.

Unhappy had to purchase subscriptions on my fire stick, when free was advertised with my paid Xfinty service!
