Why….Why in-home?

Why is this now a thing? “Due to licensing agreements, some content can only be viewed on your in-home WiFi.”

When did this become a new thing when attempting to watch channels or ondemand using the xfinity app? Are you all not getting enough of our money so we can watch things while not in-home on our WiFi?

Thank you for reaching out to us @Mortonandco! The TV shows and movies (free to watch, available to rent for a fee or for purchase) with an Xfinity TV package are under licensing agreements that can limit where and the amount of time we offer programming in the Xfinity Stream app.

Most of the channels we provide to you are owned by media companies other than Comcast. We obtain the rights to carry channels according to agreements (or contracts) with those companies.

For more information, we have this really handy link.
