error: tvapp-00165

I have Xfinity for cable/video and internet. I am trying to reauthorize my Samsung tv (was authorized and working fine a couple days ago) to use the Xfinity streaming app. I get the sign in screen (no QR code shows up though) and enter the code provided into the Xfinity.com/authorize site. The tv screen changes and appears to be loading the app but then comes back with a message that says “Sorry” and has the error: tvapp-00165 in the lower right corner.

@user_omvfqs We appreciate you taking the time to reach out here on our Xfinity Forums. I can definitely understand the frustration, we use the Stream app on 3 of our TVs and it would be a bummer if it wasn't working right. Can you tell me more about the error that you are receiving? Is it the same as posted above? What type of device are you trying to access the Stream app on?

I’m getting the message on my 2 LG TV’s. I login with my Xfinity user name and password, get a message that states success and then get this error message telling me that high speed internet users are not included in the plan. I login on my xf8nity WiFi and have a Xfinity cable tv plan.
