Same here…. Has been working fine for months, using it every day, but today it asks for signin.  I go through the steps with the QR code, login is shown as successful, then the ATV+ app on X1 goes right back to the signin screen again.  Tried multiple times, restarted the X1 box, still same loop.  


Tried removing the “Comcast 1080p” box from my Apple account, then repeated the QR signin again.  Same loop, even though the device showed up as added back on my Apple account.

ATV+ working fine from iPad, just fails login on X1 box.

I am having the exact same problem as of this evening.  This has worked perfectly until tonight.  It is just stuck in a sign in loop, no way to exit.  My Apple TV subscription is current, I can access the account on my iPad, no problem.  Something has changed on the Xfinity side it appears.  Help!

@ggr001 Hi there, thank you for taking the time to reach out to Xfinity Community Forum with your concerns. I am sorry to hear you are having issues enjoying your services, and it would be my pleasure to help. Are you still having this issue now? What is the error message you are getting when you go to log in? -Vanessa

Appears resolved now (for me).  Came back an hour later and started the ATV+ app on X1, and it came up normally, fully logged in!  So apparently some temporary issue, may have been on Apple’s side as I saw complaints from Spectrum users, too.  Perhaps some device authentication service used specifically for non-Apple device logins?  In any case, good to have it working again.

I am running into this issue. I have attempted to sign in multiple times, ran the verification process both with the QR code from my phone as well as through the url (on my phone AND on my computer). I always get a "successful login, your app will refresh" and then the app refreshes prompting me to sign in again. Incredibly frustrating. I've also reset the Apple TV+ app but that didn't remedy the issue either.

Hello @Crowpickle thank you for reaching out about the issues with the Apple login:

Per Apple support, steps that can be taken are:
  • Restart Apple TV
  • Update tvOS
  • Sign out of Apple TV
  • Enter the password and authentication code together
  • Disable two factor authentication

    If you cannot sign in to the Apple TV app you should try restarting the television or device by disconnecting it from the power source and plugging it back into the socket.

Can you try those steps to see if they work? 

I no longer work for Comcast.
