XUMO Streaming Box and XUMO TV

I understand from Xfinity and SlingTV that the two are incompatible at the present time.  I have been told by Xfinity that, although my previous FLEX Box was compatible, the new XUMO Box and TV are not.  I have been trying to find out when XUMO will support SlingTV but neither Xfinity nor SlingTV are able to provide an answer or estimate.  Can anyone provide an estimate?

Thank you for reaching out to us here @donsc. I do not see any information as yet for when Sling will be available on that Xumo box. We can share your feedback from here about that service.

After using the Xumo streaming box for a few weeks now, the one difference that we have noticed between FLEX and XUMO is that the loading time for apps appears to be slower and we are hoping that the speed will be picking up with time.  Additionally, it is now been some time since the release of XUMO by xfinity but, the SLING app on XUMO still does not work and neither xfinity, XUMO, nor SLING can seem to provide any time frame for when the SLING app will work and, if it will work, when.  SLING worked well with FLEX but, although we can log into SLING, no selection within the SLING app will stream.   

Will the loading speed of apps within XUMO be improving and please provide an update on the compatibility of the SLING app within the XUMO streaming box and XUMO TV.  Thank you.

We are glad to take a closer look at this for you @donsc.  No worries!  You have reached out to the right team, and we are going to get things squared away for you. Can you tell me if you are only having issues with streaming on the XUMO device or are there any other contributing factors?  For example, are you noticing that your internet connection may be running slower than your normal speed?  Please feel free to shoot us a private message so that we can get a hold of what is going on for you.

I sent a direct message as you had suggested but am not receiving any response to my direct message.  Internet speed is NOT a problem (I am finding >600Mb/s in the area of the XUMO box.  I checked this morning and I still cannot access SLING streaming on XUMO.  Please provide some clarification  about whether/when XUMO will be compatible with SLING.  This has been going on for some time now and Xfinity is not providing any answers for some reason.   Somebody at Xfinity must have some idea about what is going on with SLING compatibility.

I am not seeing a direct message from you donsc. Can you attempt that again? I see multiple instances where my colleagues attempted to request a DM, nothing had arrived in any of those situations.

I followed your instructions exactly; I cannot explain why you didn't receive my direct message.   I suggest you simply respond here so that others might also benefit from your comprehensive response.
