Cannot stream DVR footage on app unless on WiFi or VPN on Cellular

Hi
I am having issue streaming contents from my DVR while on mobile. I can stream if on wifi (any wifi, not just the Comcast one, I tested this by using a phone hotspot) or with cellular data but also on VPN.
If I am not on VPN, I get a message stating "Well that didn't go as planned. Were having trouble playing this recording. We checked for this program On Demand but, unfortunately, it is not available. Please try watching another program."
This happens across multiple shows, episodes, and channels.
Anyone else has this issues?

that VPN is probably the issue then. perhaps you can try a differnet one? if a work network, they may have blocked the vpn?

Hi, the issue is that I can only stream when on VPN or wifi. If not on VPN and on mobile, I cannot stream. Not the other way around, I can watch on or off VPN when on wifi. 

 

But the last android app update fixed it somehow, so all good. Thanks
