DVR recordings freeze while viewing on Xfinity Stream App

For the last two weeks my DVR recordings have been freezing while watching them on the Xfinity Stream app. I can still hear the audio but the video completely freezes. It usually starts around the halfway point of the recording. Please help.

Same issue happening with Bravo shows. When can we expect a fix? It’s highly frustrating.

Hello there @user_c73ec7 Thank you so much for letting us know you are also running into an issue with your Bravo shows using the Xfinity Stream app. Since the Xfinity stream app does connect to your main box we do recommend that you do a system refresh on that box. You can check out here out to perform the refresh. https://comca.st/3G8ScEa

I personally do the refresh and once complete a box reset by unplugging it from the power for a few moments. Once the box is booted back up. Close out your stream app windows and clear the history on the device you are using then try it again with the newly refreshed system.

It seems to always happen after I fast forward. If I don’t touch it and let it go through all the commercials, it doesn’t do it.

Same thing has been happening to me for months. Extremely frustrating and completely unacceptable. I’ve experienced it on iPad and iPhone but not from my tv connected to the cable box.

Having the same issue and with all network recordings… EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING and for few weeks now. Think it’s time for a cable provider switch.

Same issues with Bravo recordings! We pay way too much for Xfinity to not be able to watch my recordings on my phone.

You can’t use that link if you’re on an iPhone or iPad. You have to use the app. At least that’s what the website says when I try to stream from the website. We’ve literally tried EVERYTHING.  Please fix the interface with the app and Bravo!  That’s the only station it does it on.

Same thing is happening with me! All Bravo shows. We recently returned from 2 years without Cable and I’m really disappointed. This never happened with FuboTv or YouTube Tv. This needs to be fixed.. why am I paying extra for DVR when it doesn’t even work??!

Same for me! We pay way too much for this to happen! I look forward to my contract being over to go elsewhere or try some other cable/streaming service. Why isn’t this fixed already clearly it’s been happening for months.

Have you tried resetting the box manually by unplugging from the power for 10 minutes? I would also check all connections and if you are using a splitter? I would try and bypass this to see if that clears the issue.

 

If you have tried these fixes and your recordings are still freezing, please feel free to send us a private message with your full name and full service address.

  • Click "Sign In" if necessary

      there. As you are typing a drop-down list appears.
  • Select "Xfinity Support" from that list. An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line.

The DVR freezing every time we want to watch something on the app is going to send us all to Verizon! Honestly for the money we pay Xfinity (I pay well over $300 a month) this should not be happening!! I should listen to my kids and get rid of cable😉Please fix this issue!!!!

Me too.  This has been happening for weeks if not months.  On my iPad using the xfinity stream app, all my Bravo shows freeze the screen and continue audio.  It is beyond frustrating.  I pay way too much for these engineers to not figure this out by now.  I have done all the rebooting and reinstalling suggested.  Nothing works.

Xfinity doesn’t care and all the customer service reps act as if they have never heard of such a problem. Everyone I have ever talked to, go over the same scripted and useless “fixes”, that just to wear me down and get me frustrated. No one ever follows up on the problem and if I call again, I have to go through it all over again and I have had this problem, off and on for a few years. They are so useless and frustrating that it makes me not want to deal with them. 
Things we’ve tried:

*They refresh the signal 

*They tell you to unplug the main box, wait 10 seconds before plugging in 

*Repeat same thing with the modem

*Delete the app and reinstall

*Once you’ve done all this, and it doesn’t work, the will try to schedule a tech to come to your house… 😂😂😂. What the hell do they think a tech is going to do?🤣🤣🤣 So they train the techs on iCloud diagnostics and/or Bravo troubleshooting? GIVE ME A BREAK!

Since Xfinity has already sold us the DVR recording service, it seems they're not that interested in actually supporting that particular service. So...next month I will request that they remove it (and the fee) from my bill and my list of services. It's only fair; why should you pay for something that doesn't work?  It's a shame, because it used to work so well.
