Can't restart or watch now

I use to be able to restart a movie if I missed the beginning, also, I used to be able to watch now, movies that aren't showing currently. I've already spoke with two separate agents in the Philippines. Neither one could quite grasp what I'm talking about. Very frustrating. I've emailed xfinity with no response. I have internet, phone, and cable through xfinity, I pay $315 a month!! My service just got WAY worse. I'm disabled and tv is all I have most days. I just want to know how to get it back. Maybe it's time to switch to WOW. Looking into it.

Same thing for me. I pay over $350 a month. I cannot start movies at different times. I use this function all the time. I would like to know why this is not available.

What use is the forums if you only want private comms?

This is obviously something Xfinity removed and you all are simply not saying so and explaining why.

Hey there @user_d5ktkn ! I have no documentation stating that this feature was removed. In most instances, the program/movie in question would need to be available On Demand and be something that is non-commercial driven and the content owner would need to allow it. That being the case, we do like to verify information privately as it entails knowing account details.

Well, I can verify that it is no longer available as well. I've been an xfinity customer from back when it was comcast - over 30 years ago! I pay appx $300 per month and am an xfinity diamond triple play customer. You need to find out WHY this has UNIVERSALLY been removed and fix it - NOW!!!

@user_28b617 We know that having easy access to our Jump Back options is crucial, and we want you to be able to enjoy your content with us. At this time, our engineer team has confirmed that there is currently a known issue with the Jump Back, or restart, options missing from within the X1 menu. Our teams are working hard to determine where the error is coming from with this option so that it can be fixed and returned to normal. We don't currently have an ETA on when this is expected to be resolved, but are working to get this taken care of as soon as possible. As a temporary solution, you can navigate through VOD menus to search for the movie/tv show you wish to restart and select it from there to start from the beginning. If you have a voice remote, you can also say the title of the show/move into your remote to be brought to the VOD page and start that content from the beginning.

@XfinityBrianH​ We're NOT talking about live TV. We used to be able to restart movies and programs on HBO, Showtime, etc. and can no longer do so. WHY? FIX IT!

We are having the same issues here in MN. Sister-in-law was told it's a feature that is gone. She was told she didn't pay for it anyway! What? The price all of us are paying, increasing every month, and all Xfinity does is take away services and channels. Everyone in my neighborhood is ditching cable and it looks like we will follow suit. What a way to treat customers of over 30 years, like us! How sad. I used to defend Xfinity, but not anymore.

No the issue still exists. Please fix this. It is a programming issue. Comcast turned it off. Please bring it back

I have the same issue.  Very frustrating.  I contacted customer service and the rep kept me on the phone for 20 minutes and could not acsertain what I was describing.  Finally said to get another cable box.  Went to the Xfinity store and the first rep also was unaware of this feature and the second rep gave me a new cable box.  It did not change anything.

Finally after hours of phone calls a tech came to the house, checked all of the equipment and resolved this is a programming issue. It was a feature that was available and Comcast took it away this is a global issue so local, even region can’t fix it. Only way would be if the “big guys” get enough blow back. So complain where it will help. I have

@Jubishop I want to make sure you're able to enjoy all the features included in your TV service. When you're watching a movie on Live TV, press the info button on your remote, then select "Movie Info" and "Watch Options". Are you able to play the full movie from there?

@HapnHarry You should be able to find available shows, and movies in the On-Demand menu. If they are available On-Demand, you can restart the program from the beginning.
