App Error TVAPP-00166

I was booted out of my Xfinity streaming app on my Samsung TV.  When I tried to get back on the app, I received Error TVAPP-00166.  I uninstalled the app, and reinstalled.  I receive the same error each time I try to get into the app.  I have had A LOT of problems with the Xfinity app, I have reported it several times to the FCC for assistance since Xfinity support does not respond to has not resolution.  So, the only way to get a response is to escalate it to the FCC.  Can someone from Xfinity support get this fixed, or do I need to open another complaint with the FCC in order to get assistance?

Same here for me in Massachusetts. Samsung TV and has been going on and off for days. I agree with all the comments. The App is horrible and the support is even worse.

This happened to me 3 years ago and again today. It was an issue with the model of Samsung tv and the app. They had to resolve the issue with Samsung themselves. It took weeks.

Same issue here in Spring TX. One older Samsung TV works. Newer one has error code. All other Apps working on newer Samsung. Also Xfinity works on phone and PC. Tried everything like turning off, removing App, reloading but nothing. Not the first time this has happened.

I’m having the same problem here in Georgia.  It’s been all day.  There’s always something going on with this app.  I never have problems with any other app except Xfinity.

I filed a complaint with the FCC as suggested and it was easy. Suggested others to do the same. I also complained about Paramount + with Showtime on Xfinity after finding out that some shows like 1923 season 2 are not part of the Paramount + with Showtime package on Xfinity. Not sure how they advertise a package that is a limited version of Paramount + without telling you until you complain.

They did something with that app. Iam in Illinois and it happened at the same time for everyone. Did they updated an app? App on the phone works fine. That app is garbage. It is always something.

Same error and issues here in NJ. Appears to always be one large “outage” once every few months and similar to others this is the only app with frequent troubles. Last time we received a similar error, it took over a week to resolve which is unacceptable. It’s not that difficult to test any updates for compatibility with a major company like Samsung before anything is formally released.

If you want to use the phone app and screen mirror with AirPlay to your Samsung tv, you can watch tv or recordings that way. It’s ridiculous that it’s necessary to do that but it does work during these glitchfests.

Confirming this is still an issue. I just tried the Xfinity app on my Samsung Smart TV and received the same error as above.

The Xfinity Stream app on my iPhone is the latest version and is working fine.
