Roku (Error createDrmSession.403-102)

Hi,

I have a new customer-owned modem and router. The Internet and cable work fine. When I try to launch the The Xfinity Stream app  on my new Roku it gives me the error message: Error createDrmSession.403-102.

 

I've been on the phone with comcast for hours and reset, reloaded, and redone everything a million times with no luck. From what I have been reading on the forums, many other people have had this issue, as well.  It looks like there is a back-end database issue or something with the modem. Help??

Hey, I'm actually all set now. Had a tech coming out anyway for a different matter (just got new netgear cm1150v and when I run the line tests I only show 4 bonded upstream channels instead of 8, apparently outside plant doesnt support the 8 upstreams.) He went with his phone and did the authorization and ot started working. I guess it didn't provision properly when i ran it myself because i was connected through the modem trying to do it. The people I talked to last night tried a bunch of different things and tried reprovisioning it several times. Not sure why ot took this time but I'm not complaining.

And to answer your question, yes it did match. That was one of the things they tried last night, having me verify it.

I had this problem with Roku a few weeks back, and the had no clue.  My hunch was that I changed the main password on the Xfinity account and although the system picled it up everywhere, and seemed to authorize when code from Roku is typed in, the aoo itself kept giving this 403-102 error message.  Then in three days, all of a sudden. the app started working.  TOday, I receive a message from Xfinity that I need to change my password, which I did. And you guessed it right - I'm at square 1 - the app gives me the 403-102 again.  I guess it will fix itself in a few days, but having heard about this issue for several years (trend), this should have been solved a long time ago.  Xfinity - stop waisting users time!Fix the issue and provide competent answers!

Hello,

 

I am also getting this error message on every roku that we have tried to set up.  We have a customer bought modem that was set up on my XFINITY as my modem.  We have uninstalled and unplugged the roku, checked the router up, and restarted the modem with no success.

 

Help!

Hello,
Exact same issue as everyone on this link.
Upgraded personal approved cable modem to support triple play (voice) and after the successful installation of the TV boxes and the modem; the streaming AP quit working on ALL previously working streaming devices (Roku TVs, Roku sticks, phones). Also note that now a second 'ghost' cable modem has appeared on my account.
Inaffective Comcast support that degraded in quality as I was escalated through the 3rd level of support, their suggestions (multiple uninstall and reinstalls of the AP, modem resets, etc) proved to be useless and now total frustration.
Comcastella you seem to be the real expert on this topic as it seems to a Comcast system SW issue that can only be resolved by re-provisioning the cable modem/ or account.

Can you please provide a suggested approach to me and others like me to improve our Comcast experience?

Thanks!

I was receiving the error and through trial and error on my own, I SOLVED MY PROBLEM BY CALLING COMCAST (my internet provider) TO REGISTER my new modem/router with them.  ALL WORKS WELL NOW!!!!

 

Go to 'devices' on your comcast account and see what modem/router is listed.  If there is a ?, call them and give them the info for your new router.

 

SUCH A SIMPLE FIX (for me anyway!)

Thanks!

 

But the CM info is correct.

 

That said, this AM everything is working.  All streaming devices are working, the TV boxes, and the phone.  Apparently all that was needed was an overnight refresh in my case.

 

I am good to go - Comcast people monitoring this website, PLEASE don't change anything at my end.

 

Also it would be a great service to ALL the people that encounter this issue (there are many webhits on the 403-102 topic); IF the Comcast front line support people quickly suggested that ONLY an over night cycle was required before we consumed so much of thier time running down futile tasks.

 

Good luck to the next guy!
