On Demand no longer supported on TiVo (after 6/25/19)
Just recieved a letter from Comcast that at the end of June the OnDemand app will no longer be available to TiVo users.

I have a 2 yr old Samsung TV that cannot use the Xfinity Stream App - aparently not "new enough".

I think you can expect that they do not care and will not "fix" this. Saying it will be available on other platforms is just propaganda to try to soften the blow. They do not value their customers at all, particularly their TiVo customers.

So to be able to stream XOD on something other than a tiny screen, it seems the cheapest solution is the basic Roku player?

Could one of the Comcast official reps (@CCKenF or @ComcastTeds?) please clarify how the licensing agreements with the networks forbid using Xfinity Stream on a Chromecast or Apple TV, but allows the use of Xfinity Stream on a Roku? Or allows streaming on Samsung and LG TVs, but not my Panasonic that has a Chromecast attached to it? Is Roku or Samsung or LG paying a licensing fee that Google won't pay?
Seems like we all should just go out and get a $30 Roku Express. Looks like there is no subscription or monthly fee required.

There is no way to display On-Demand content to my LG TV. I have a Tivo and an Apple TV.... The On-Demand app on an iPad for example can run On-Demand but I am unable to cast that content to a relatively new LG 65" TV through Apple TV? Therefore I have no solution to display On-demand on a large display.
Basically, I'm paying full price for a now incomplete service because I have a Tivo. Since your service has been reduced will my subscription be discounted or the terms renegotiated before the end of my 2 year agreement?

Whose equipment is outdated, TiVo or Comcast? So you are going to change me for another Comcast DVR because the equipment is outdated in order for me to get OnDemand?

Apologies. Both.
Some options below.
Are there other ways I can watch On Demand content?
Yes. If you have an Xfinity TV Box, you can still access your On Demand content, including any SVOD subscriptions. You can also access all of your On Demand content via the Xfinity Stream app and portal, which is available on Apple and Android devices, computers/laptops, Roku devices, Samsung Smart TVs and later this year on LG Smart TVs.

Thanks for that information. The Xfinity Stream app is available on selected Samsung TVs manufactured in 2017 through 2019. Appears that the referenced model was manufacturered in 2016.
Additional details below:

Not all device models meet the minimum hardware requirements for the Xfinity Stream app. We are working with equipment manufacturers to bring the Xfinity Stream app to additional devices and models.
