The New Xfinity Stream Update Removed Essential Features
Several features that many customers relied on every day appear to be missing or have been made much less user-friendly:
- No dedicated Scheduled Recordings list where you can easily see everything that is set to record.
- The Live TV guide no longer clearly shows which programs are already scheduled to record.
- Favorite Channels filtering is gone.
- HD-only channel filtering is gone.
- Swipe-to-delete functionality for recordings is gone.
- DVR management now requires more taps and navigation to accomplish simple tasks.
- It is harder to quickly verify that future recordings are set correctly.
- Recordings are displayed by episode title instead of show title, making it difficult to quickly find the program you're looking for.
The recording list change is especially frustrating. Most people remember and search for recordings by the name of the show, not by the episode title. Seeing a list of episode names instead of clearly displaying the series title makes browsing recordings unnecessarily confusing.
For example, I know I recorded Dateline, Blue Bloods, or Ghosts. I do not memorize the title of every individual episode. A DVR should make content easier to find, not force users to figure out which show an episode belongs to.
The previous version wasn't perfect, but it allowed users to efficiently manage recordings and navigate the guide. The new version feels like functionality was sacrificed for a redesign.
Please consider restoring:
- Scheduled Recordings view
- Recording indicators in the Live TV guide
- Favorite Channels filter
- HD-only guide filter
- Swipe-to-delete for recordings
- Easier DVR management tools
- Show titles as the primary listing in recordings
These were not niche features. They were basic functions that made the app practical to use every day.
Am I the only one who feels like this update solved problems nobody had while removing features people actually used?

My list of what needs to be restored:
The following changes need to be fixed:
✅ Favorites filter missing
✅ HD-only filter missing
✅ Recording indicators missing in the Live TV guide
✅ Show titles replaced by episode titles
✅ Swipe-to-delete removed
✅ More taps required for basic DVR management
✅ 30-second skip reduced to 10-second skip

I agree. The new app is terrible! Please give us back the old one. It was MUCH better.

updated app FRUSTRATING! Why were they removed?
