Downloads Freeze on iPad

I saw about 2 years ago, a post regarding someone downloading a tv show to their tablet and when offline, when they try to play shows offline, the screen freezes but the sound continues. I deleted the app and redownloaded and it still happens. I download using my home network and it continues to be an issue. Has this never been fixed? I travel a lot and choose Xfinity because of the download feature. Pretty frustrating. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for responding. I did check the portal and none of the items listed matches the problem. The regular network shows are on the DVR. I download them to the iPad on the home network. The shows pause but the audio still plays.

@user_fdadds, So if you try to watch the show that you downloaded on your in home network its freezing still or just when out of the home?

Yes, it freezes when I’m watching it on the iPad. I can watch it on the DVR and everything is perfectly fine.

I’m having the same problem. Have been through level 1 and 2 tier tech support, and just had a technician at my house. No one can figure out the problem or help.

it seems that there is a problem with the xfinity stream app. Extremely frustrating. Each department just throws up their hands and tells me to call tech support again. They tell me they can’t fix it either. Please help!

And before you ask, I have deleted and reinstalled app, have tried using different devices, also even went down to the local xfinity store and reproduced the problem using their WiFi signal. Exact same problem.

They ended up sending a tech out and all they did was replace the modem. It seems to have done the trick. You have to demand that they send a tech.

A tech was just here. He couldn’t figure it out and told me I’d have to start over with tech support.

I have always had this problem as well. For what we pay for Xfinity, this shouldn’t happen!
