MLB.TV not showing up in ESPN.APP on X1

I purchased the MLB.TV subscription through ESPN and it shows up in the IPad ESPN app and on the ESPN web site. If I go into the settings/subscriptions on the X1 ESPN app it shows that I have MLB.TV but its not showing up on the Home page of the ESPN app.

user_ma6v1 Thanks for reaching out! I would recommend restarting the X1 TV box so the entitlements in the app can refresh.

@XfinityMartyR​ that doesn’t work. Was on the phone with a Xfinity representative and it did nothing.  Very frustrating!

I understand where your frustrations are coming from @user_nhwp67 and am sorry to hear that restarting your X1 box did not help. Have you tried force closing and relaunching our ESPN app or logging out and back in? What steps did the phone rep have you attempt

The rep had me power down and reboot my main X1 box, tried on his end sending a signal and every other. I also logged out of the ESPN app on the Xfinity box and logged back in…still nothing. How do you “force close and relaunch the ESPN app” on the Xfinity box on my tv. The “app” on the Xfinity box seems to be the issue here. Everything says I have ESPN Unlimited and MLB.TV subscriptions. The reason I purchased this through ESPN was to watch on my Xfinity TV!!

Thank you for verifying the steps you took with another agent user_nhwp67, you are able to watch on other device, and not your Xfinity TV box?

I am having the same issue!  Having contacted MLB, ESPN, and then Comcast, nobody can figure this out. I can watch MLB.TV on my phone, but not through my TV on Xfinity through the ESPN app on there now that I got the ESPN Unlimited added.

I too have the same issues. I can watch the MLB package on my I pad but not on my tv with the Xfinity cable box. The employees in the Xfinity store and phone support are clueless! Yes I have the ESPN Unlimited streaming app.

@user_633m2e Thank you for making us aware you're also having this same issue with the MLB games not working with the cable box. I would be more than happy to help figure out a solution to this problem you're experiencing. So that we don't go over something you've already done, can you please share with me what troubleshooting steps have you completed on your own? Have you by any chance used the Xfinity app to reset the cable box? How about a power cycle, have you tried that?

Is there any update on solving this problem? I have the same issue - purchased MLB.TV can see it everywhere but in the Espn Unlimited app through Xfinity. Tried all the resets, restarts, logout, login and nothing works. Spent 30 minutes with an Espn rep and he had no luck either. Is Xfinity able to provide any solution yet?
