Your current TV equipment will no longer allow you to access Xfinity On Demand and Subscription Video On Demand (SVOD) Package
I just received an email stating: "As early as June 6, 2023, your current TV equipment will no longer allow you to access Xfinity On Demand and Subscription Video On Demand (SVOD) packages." The email refers to the Cable Card serial number in my TIVO, that I'm very happy with.
We don't use any Xfinity VOD or SVOD service via our TIVO (on that Cable Card). I thought that those services were discontinued quite a while ago for non-X1 customers.
We do however use the Xfinity Stream App to watch cloud recorded content on our Samsung Galaxy s7 Ultra Tablet and Fire TV Stick.
We have no desire to switch back to an X1 Device for Cable TV and DVR services. Other than DVRing some Broadcast shows (primarily Jeopardy! and Chopped), we watch mostly streaming via our Fire TV 4K Stick. Our TV is 4K UHD.
I know that the FCC is no longer forcing Xfinity to support Cable Cards and the agreement is in place to support them through 2031. We're happy to keep using our TIVO until then (if it doesn't die first).
Bottom line - I'm thinking I really don't need to do anything as we can happily keep using our TIVO DVR on Xfinity, the Xfinity Streaming App, and we won't miss any content.
Am I missing something?
Thanks!
Regards,
Bill
