This network is not included in your current television subscription.

I have used the CNN go app and ESPN app for years by logging into my xfinity account and streaming the apps to my smart tv, phone, and lap top. I am not getting the error message "This network is not included in your current tv package" even though CNN and ESPN (regular not plus) are channels we pay for. I called xfinity twice and both people told me to call CNN to fix this... like the actual new station and said its not an xfinity issue. I read on a few other posts on ther that the streaming providsions need to be reset on the xfinity side to allow me to use the apps but neither xfinity person would push me up to talk to anyone else.

we have been having this problem OVER,  and OVER AGAIN. and every single time we contact xfinity they act like it’s the first time they’ve ever heard of it?!? we get told that it’s not part of our package  (it is) etc. etc. somehow it gets fixed only to happen again at some point. we have spent hours and hours on the phone, or chat —who has this kind of time to try to fix a service you pay for? last night i was on chat for close to two hours with “roshan” who eventually disconnected and never tried to reconnect. this morning i was on the phone with someone i could not understand. we pay more for this horrific xfinity cable than we’ve ever paid for any other service before.we don’t have the time, or the patience —we will be cancelling.

Good morning @user_0cb7f2 and thank you for reaching out on our forums, I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with your ESPN app, that's one of my most used apps and I know I would be frustrated as well if I was in your shoes! Rest assured our Digital Care Team is here to help. Are you experiencing the subscription error message as well? Have you made any recent changes to your channel lineup? Have you tried restarting your cable box?

Hi, thank you for the response. I have not made any recent changes to my channel lineup and yes it is the same message from above “This network is not included in your tv subscription” I have not tried restarting the tv box. I will try that now but I’m not sure if that will help.

Okay, got it! Wow; I can imagine how frustrating that would be. Rest assured; we'll get to the bottom of this! Please let me know if that made any sort of difference, and I will be standing by!

 

Also, just in case you didn't know, you can also troubleshoot your TV service through our MyAccount mobile app! It's super easy, and really simple to navigate through, and all you have to do is log into the app, click on the TV portion of your services, and then you should be able to click on "Troubleshoot", and this should get everything rolling. This has been super useful me in the past, and it's definitely a tool I believe in! I hope it can be helpful for the future!

Hi, I followed your guidance and was able to fix my issue! Thank you!


For those who need the help here’s what I did. I downloaded the Xfinity MyAccount app and did a System Refresh under Troubleshooting in the TV section of the app. It took about 10-15 min and after the tv boxes were reset. I was able to watch live tv and repeat episodes on my ESPN APP. 

thanks for the help and I hope

this helps other people on this chain.

I am experiencing the same issue when accessing ESPN app on my Android TV. Some live programs reported this error, some didn't. I tried to fix it with the Xfinity MyAccount App, but it didn't work. Can a rep give me a hand?

Hello, @user_e1c4a8, thank you for reaching out in our forum for help with that pesky error message you've been running into with your ESPN and ABC app. I use those every day, so I can only imagine your frustrations with this. Especially trying to watch the Finals! To make sure we're on the same page, have you attempted any troubleshooting steps on your end? I don't want to have you repeat anything if we can avoid it. Also, are you accessing the apps on your cable box, tv, or other device?

Hey Kennii! I'm sorry you're going through the same issue. What channel or channels are you having that "This network is not included in your current tv package" error message on? Also, are you getting the same message on multiple cable boxes in your home if you have more than one?

I am facing the same issue. I recently got the Xfinity internet service along with the xfinity flex box. I tried to use the ESPN app(i have a subscription to ESPN), but it just wouldn't play anything on my laptop, or phone, or my TV. On the TV, an error message is displayed stating that 'This network is not part of your subscription'. Please help me on this.

Yeah I’m having same issues. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I use an iPhone so I’m constantly deleting the “allow access to TV provider” or signing out of my Xfinity account in hope the app will properly recognize my subscription package through Xfinity. Tonight Fox finally took but Bravo did not which I definitely have on my TV package. Oddly enough, works fine on my iPad (running older OS).

What baffles me, I’ve been following this issue for years and there’s never a known fix posted. I’m talking lots of users posting same issue. It’s always please contact customer support which is the rabbit hole of no return. I can only conclude that certain companies (let’s say Apple) in competition with Comcast  are intentionally making technical glitches in hopes we will ditch this expensive service and turn elsewhere. Regardless of any conspiracy theory, the effect is the same. Once my contract is up, time to cut the cord. Can’t watch NFL network outside of my home network, can’t use Apple TV with Xfinity Stream app, and can’t even use apps on my mobile devices to watch networks I pay for when I’m not home.

I'm experiencing the same issue. ALL of our basic cable networks INCLUDED in our Xfinity package just gave us the same error message....in the middle of my fiancés football game, so you know...not the best time for Xfinity to be pulling this classic stunt. Reading the comments here has me feeling like it's not even worth it to contact the support team if no real solutions have been identified. I'd honestly rather cancel our TV package and set up Hulu live. So annoying.
