Removing channels from service

Cable bill keeps going up but service going down.  I turned on TV to watch H&I channel 291 this morning and was greeted with "no longer available"!  I called xfinity and I was told "they cancelled their service with us".  I am sure the fact is that their contract was up, H&I wanted to increase their fee to xfinity, and xfinity was to CHEAP to renew the contract!  We keep paying more and at the same time keep removing channels!!  I asked who else I could contact and best they would do is give me this forum.  If xfinity is monitoring this - quit removing channels and increasing our rates!

Hello, @user_z5v31v! Thanks for coming to our community forum with your channel and billing concerns. I'm sorry to hear about the recent trouble you had accessing a certain channel, and I'd love to see what our team can do to help :) We're great to work with because we'll always be happy to review your available options, providing whatever assistance you may need.

 

To start, have you recently reviewed our current channel line-ups, here? If not, you can click that link, and then I recommend updating the address to match your location before clicking "View Deals," rather than logging in (this makes the list of line-ups easier to view).

 

If you realize you'd like to make changes to your current package in any way, you can check out our Plan Builder. You may also try shopping Xfinity Deals online (just make sure to click "Sign in here" first), or simply log in to My Account and you can manage your services that way! Please let me know if this helps. And if you still need any further assistance, we can take a closer look at the account with you, no problem.

We didn’t get a choice or notice or if I got a notice I didn’t see it & where do we get notices of channels being removed?

Same here And Catchy Comedy is gone. I've called for two days and no agent has provided this information, I was told there was an update in progress. So, XFINITY is my bill going to drop in price??

I definitely understand how upsetting it can be to have a favorite channel disappear gdav, and whenever Xfinity anticipates changes to the channel lineup of any kind, we do our best to keep our customer's informed via the Upcoming Changes section of your Xfinity statement each month. We also have Xfinity.com/programmingchanges that you can visit any time as it is always kept up to date with upcoming channel lineup changes.

Xfinity.com/support/local-channel-lineup is available if you want to view your full updated channel lineup.

@XfinitySeth​ We should have the option of selecting the channels we want. I have several I would like to remove that I NEVER watch.

I certainly agree that more choice is better. Our channel lineups, like other TV providers are composed based on various factors, including contractual agreements with programmers and the associated costs of carrying each channel.

Xfinity aims to provide a diverse selection of channels that meet our customer interests while managing expenses to avoid increasing customer bills. If channel lineups were available on a 100% customizable basis, it would result in far higher costs for the channels themselves.

The two channels removed 283 and 291 contained family programming. Xfinity should never limit family programming.
