user_1io1ox Good morning! Thank you for reaching out to our Community Forums Team for assistance with your TV channels. I would be happy to help you get your TV working. May ask if the message you are getting is on a channel you subscribe to, and would you mind sharing any steps you have tried to clear the message?

@user_s3juii I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with your cable service. Are you getting an error message/code on any channel? Have you by any chance tried using the Xfinity app to reset your devices?

Channels on the TV gives the message, "This Requires a Subscription".  No Channels are working, not even the local channel. It's stating to Go to xfinity.com/UpgradeTV to update your packages.

user_ovijs2, I am sorry you are having issues accessing your channels. May I ask what package you have? Do you watch through the Stream app, or is this through regular cable channels on our X1 box?

user_ovijs2 Can you check your Xfinity App to see if you are currently in an interruption? As soon as you log into it, it will show in the banner above it.

user_mmu8bp Hello! With the box that is not working properly, can you please try unplugging the power cable from it for 2-3 minutes and then plug it back in? If the channels are still not functioning after that, please let us know.

and it's every channel, not just premiums. I'm in a condo building so the core of everyone's service should be the same.

Ahh! Gotcha. Appreciate the details! Is the box that is having the issue connected wirelessly or by coax cable to the wall? Thank you so much.

It's wireless. 

The channels were working earlier - and when I went to change the channel is when I noticed all channels said they require a subscription (and it was similar timing to the others post about this issue).

 This is a know issue on xfinity's side. Why is your first response to ask us customers for details on how we are attempting to fix? It is not an issue on our side. Its an issue on yours. I get it if a problem is a one off. Yes standard practice of restart and reset may work. But on a common issue its not like we all stopped our subscriptions the same time and forgot and are all complaining here at the same time. Come on xfinity. Get your [Edited: "Language"] together for a change!! Stop acting like you have never seen this issue before. Its pathetic. Own up to your issues and say We see we have issues. Not this can you give me the steps you did to try and fix this and what didn't work because its not on our ends!!!

To start may I ask if you are experiencing this message on all channels or on a particular channel? Have you tried any troubleshooting steps yet such as restarting your cable box?

if you all read the chats above instead of asking us to troubleshoot first you may actually learn something about how you try to help everyone.

My first post was

Really? Still no help? I guess the repair policy for xfinity is stall until they find the loose wire. Im absolutely frustrated with the lack of response here. Not one representative has responded to me.  Like I said earlier. Time to cancel!!

Finally after all day a response.  No offer of refund for lost service. Just a generic answer.  Yup I'm done with xfinity.
