Frequently Asked Questions

 

When I try to watch a Showtime show, it says I need to be a subscriber. I thought every episode from every season from every TV series was free for the week?
Select Showtime series are available on demand (the linear channels are not available for free) for the first three days of Watchathon (April 27-29, 2021) on TV Boxes, Flex streaming TV Boxes and online with the Xfinity Stream portal and on mobile devices with the Xfinity Stream app. All Showtime series will be available on demand during the last four days (April 30-May 3, 2021).

I saw that a specific show is available for Watchathon, but it isn't offered online. Why?
Some Watchathon content may only be available on a TV Box and may not be accessible online or on mobile devices with Xfinity Stream.

I went to a Content Provider's site or app (ex. HBO GO, https://comca.st/2QC3tsP, https://comca.st/3gDeFjI, etc.) to catch up on a specific show but I got an error message after signing in. Why?
An Xfinity TV or Xfinity Flex subscription including [name of network] is required to watch the content located on the provider's site. However, Watchathon programming is available on TV Boxes, Flex streaming TV Boxes and Xfinity Stream.

Why can't I watch every episode or all past seasons of a specific show?
Due to licensing agreements with the content owners, we may not have every season or episode available for viewing during Xfinity Watchathon Week.
