Recently upgraded Xfinity Stream App on TV lost functionality

I believe others are posting this same issue. My TV recently forced me to upgrade the Xfinity Stream App. After install I had to re-authenticate. All went well, I was able to go view live TV, see my recordings, etc... HOWEVER, I lost ability to FILTER and also lost FAVORITES.  I can still see and view them when accessing Xfinity Stream from my Windows PC, but that functionality is no longer available when streaming from the Xfinity Stream App on my LG TV. Extremely disappointing. Why do you take such needed functionality away from your customers? That's a massive list of TV channels to page thru that I had a simple favorite list to make it simple and enjoyable.

Xfinity Stream App Version - 2.183.1
LG TV device model - oled65g3pua
LG TV Op Sys - webOS 11.2.0

New update made it so we cant access previously selected favorite channels.  Unable to watch on my tv and find shows easily.  This is dreadful.  Change it back!!!

Horrible App upgrade. Why? Lost the ability to see what Premium Channels I have purchased have to offer (TV programs, Movies). I guess I’ll just cancel them.

No warning, guidance etc…

I think they are trying to make us go back to renting their equipment to be able to speak in the remote to get to our favorite channels and of course charge MORE MONEY!!!!!!

When using the app on an IPad while going to the TV guide, I’m not getting descriptions of movies or TV series and not even getting what teams are playing on sports channels.

Hi, @mtapix. Thank you for reaching out over the Xfinity Community Forums to address your concern. 

With the new Xfinity Stream TV experience, filtering the Live TV guide by Favorite Channels isn’t currently available. You can still access your favorites on mobile devices and favorite Sports teams through the TV experience.


We know scrolling through the full channel guide isn’t ideal, especially after you’ve already set up your favorite channels. Our team is aware of the issue and is actively working toward a solution.
