on my TV i selected free tv this week ...

On https://www.xfinity.com/stream/ and on the Stream app on Roku searching for BritBox brings up the "BritBox Channel Collection", and selecting that brings up "BritBox On Demand", which lists 

  • Father Brown
  • The Hardacres
  • Silent Witness
  • A Taste For Murder
  • Lynley
  • Granite Harbour

Is that all? No idea . . .

If that's all then I don't think BritBox will get any customers via xfinity

I would like to second this... it says "Free this week britbox" and "Watch BritBox for free this week", but none of the BritBox programming can actually be watched directly through Xfinity On Demand.  Some of the BritBox titles are also available on other free services like Plex and Tubi, so one could conceivably watch them there.  But by following the actual "Launch BritBox" item in the On Demand menu, it only launches the BritBox app, which requires a subscription and doesn't offer anything for free.

To be clear, networks being offered on Xfinity's "Free this week" platform should be watchable directly for free through Xfinity's native On Demand functionality, without having to navigate to any third-party apps.

Same problem here…following xfinity’s instructions to watch “free this week” —anything I try to watch redirects to the log in for Brit box which requires paid subscription. 

I have not had this problem in the past with “free this week”
