Permanent fix for Amazon Prime Video connectivity?

I cannot launch Amazon Prime Video from within Comcast's X1 service. I can watch it just fine outside of Xfinity. I can launch Hulu, Netflix, Disney+ directly from the X1 service. I did a lot of research and did all of the troubleshooting steps suggested. Do registered the device with Amazon, unplugged the X one box. I was on the phone with advanced customer support for one hour. They said they finished their troubleshooting, but still no service. The Amazon prime screen just sits there And the three dots at the bottom cycle. 

I strongly suggest that this is a latency or handshake issue between Xfinity and Amazon prime video. When, oh when, will you fix this?

You do realize that every time I exit the Xfinity service and go to direct streaming, it devalues the Xfinity service. Why would I pay for it if it's not working as my hub to other streaming services? It's beyond frustrating.

Will Comcast please identify what you are doing to permanently solve this problem? Or at least acknowledge that it is a recurring problem that you don't have an answer to?

Hello @Renee_GA, thanks for taking the time to leave a post. Sorry to hear you are having issues with Amazon Prime loading on your X1 Cable box. How long has this issue been occurring?

I have the exact same issue. It started around the end of December 2025. I can use the other services, but Amazon Prime presents with the smile and the 3 dots which eventually go away, but then just sits there. I too, have tried all the troubleshooting techniques, with no success.

Greetings, @user_pd0g6r! I hope your week has been treating you well. Thanks so much for taking a moment out of your busy day to leave a post on our community forum. I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with your X1 box, but you have definitely come to the right place for assistance.

 

Thank you for providing a timeline on this issue. Are you seeing this happen on multiple devices, or is it only impacting your primary cable box? Have you already tried clearing your local data storage (https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/x1-clear-cookies-and-local-data-storage) from your cable box, as a troubleshooting step?
