Loss of OnDemand

Over 20 years I’ve purchased hundreds of dollars of movies and tv shows on OnDemand. Last month you upgraded to a new system. If I upgrade to the new system, I’ll lose a few hundred shows on my DVR. If not, I can’t access OnDemand at all.  [Edited: "Language"]

Hi there! Are you referring to your purchases and recordings?

Airelle:  of course that’s what I’m referring to! What else?

I hope you were just feigning confusion to buy time, otherwise, please pass my complaint to a competent Xfinity employee.

Maybe that’s why you guys are losing customers every day. Incompetency.

Hello, @user_7824b2 I definitely want to ensure your question is answered. For purchased movies and programs, if you don't have access to On Demand you can access those through great Xfinity Stream App or logging in at: https://www.xfinity.com/stream/ - 

  • You can stream them on the Xfinity Stream app and web portal. From the main menu, your purchases will appear under Saved.

Purchased content isn't saved directly to the box it is stored in your profile, so swapping out the set-top box won't have you lose any purchased content. Customer's who purchased content, then cancel service will still have access as well following those steps. 

 

Besides viewing through the Xfinity Stream App or portal, you can also download purchased content if you don't want those saved on your profile: 

  • You can download purchases using the Xfinity Stream app. Downloaded titles can even be viewed when you're not connected to the Internet. To download, select your title from your purchases list and then click Download. We recommend that you download purchased titles shortly after purchase.

The only thing you would lose with swapping equipment is if you have a DVR, and programming saved to device not your cloud DVR. Those programs don't transfer, but if you have recordings in your cloud DVR those can be transfered. 

 

Here is a great article from our website about purchases: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/xfinity-on-demand-purchases.
