TVAPP-00148

I just encountered error code TVAPP-00148 on the Xfinity Stream app on my Samsung TV. Worked fine for prior 6 months. App streams fine on other devices and tvs. Tried turning off/on tv and deleting/installing app on Samsung tv.

I had it working fine all last night after it being out for a day with the TV-APP 00148 error code.  Now this morning it's not working again.  Come one Xfinity just undo whatever you did that made all the Samsung customers lose service.  We know you are monitoring this site so at least put out some type of response

I just tried a complete tv reset to factory settings, then reinstalled xfinity stream. No impact. Clearly this is a sw update issue either samsung and/or xfinity

I'm thinking it has to be xfinity since mine was working last night for a period of time and Samsung did not make any SW changes or updates during that period or today.

@user_oukisq​ this has to fall on Xfinity it’s their app not Samsung, all other apps are working

@user_oukisq​ Someone in another thread posted a workaround if you also have a Roku. Add the Xfinity Stream app to your Roku - you can watch live TV on your Samsung. I did that yesterday after 2 days of no live TV, and customer service is aware of the problem.

@user_oukisq - Our engineers are aware that some Samsung smart TV customers may receive TVApp-00148 errors when attempting to tune to linear channels in the Stream app. Our teams are working to get to the root of the issue, and we'll provide an update when this is resolved. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

As of the morning of 1/17/2024, I also have the TVAPP-00148 error on one of my four Samsung Smart tv's.
I have two Samsung tv's purchased on the same day in 2022, a 50" and a 65".
Error only appears on the 50" TV.
I have performed all the T/S steps as mentioned in this thread and still not working.
Called Xfinity and they said they are aware of this issue and then they close by stating the issue will be resolved in one hour; however, that was three days ago.
Xfinity states they will text me when issue is resolved, and they will credit my account for every day the issue is unresolved.

Another issue that I noticed (Samsung/LG) started happening in the past month, is the inability to turn off Closed Captioning in the Settings-Accessibility menu path. The option has been removed. Again, called Xfinity on 1/8/2024 and still no resolution.

No wonder they got hacked and their stock is sliding!

Wow!  I have had the same issue with the CC and didn’t realize it was coming from Xfinity- thought it was my TV but all of the cc functions were turned off!!!  This is frustrating as they PUSH streaming for multiple TV’s-  Seriously thinking of changing both internet and TV providers!  This is unacceptable!!!

I noticed the same about CC. For each time you change channel you need to deselect CC.

Same issue.  Chatted with an actual person on customer support for hours, did ALL the things... no resolution.  Very frustrating considering we are spending a zillion dollars.  I wish I had another internet option here I would cancel Xfinity altogether.

First, they force me to upgrade to the bigger package to get my regional sports networks. Then I had to endure a month-long turning off the CC every time I wanna watch a program. Now this nonsense and no one from their "customer service" team seems to have a clue how to fix it, or when it will end.  Sorry, but I refuse to buy a Roku, Firestick, or anything else. I'm done with this streaming garbage. If only I had another option for internet service... oh wait, starlink here I come.

We’re having the same problem.  Newer Samsung tv, Xfinity app hasn’t worked for the last 2 days!

Someone in another thread posted to add the Xfinity Stream app to your Roku if you have one as a workaround. I did that and can watch live TV again on my Samsung.

That is a poor workaround at best.  I too have a roku stick so I can watch TV, but now I have to use 2 remotes and have a lower picture quality because I have to use a stick.  I'm not buying a new one due to xfinity's lack of response.

@user_481kk4​ I’d rather buy a new TV than add a Roku-besides, then I have to retrain others on how to use the Roku.

better that Xfinity fix the problem they caused.

Same with me.  Seems like an Xfinity problem? Started last night - Jan 18,2024.

Yep. Third day now. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Still nothing. Works on my Roku, but not on my Samsung TV. I’m beyond disgusted with Xfinity at this point. The CC issue was bad enough, now this! I mirrored the Stream app from my phone this morning so I could at least listen to the news while getting ready for work. We pay way to much for this poor service.

@user_im6hqs​ agreed , why are all the other apps working but Xfinity? Ask yourself this and then answer who is to blame
