xfinity stream beta will not authorize on my Roku TV

I was watching the app on my roku tv this morning, no problems. But this afternoon, I selected it, and I there was a "Say Hello to Xfinity TV" sign in screen. I've tried to sign in multiple times. I enter the code on my computer and I get "Success! Your screen should refresh soon." The TV say it is access or something like that, then it goes right back to the sign in screen. There are no Error Codes. 

Roku TV 8406X

Philips Model 40PFL4662/F7

Software version 10.5.0 Build 4201-66

Connection Type Wireless

Signal Strength Excellent

What I have done so far...

Reset the modem (several times)

Rebooted the Router (several times)

Uninstall the Xfinity App

Factory Reset my TV

Unplugged everything, Waited 30 minutes.

Unlinked my TV from Roku

Relinked to Roku

Installed Xfinity App

Tried to authorized so many times I've lost count every time with the same results.

I spoke to 3 different technicians at Xfinity.  

The first on told me that Philips TV are not supported.

The second one told me it would be fixed in an hour and I'd get a text when it was done.

The third one told me to buy a roku stick, that the problem is not with the app.

Unhappy.

I'm having the same issue seemingly on my TV's with Roku built into it. I was watching until around 7:30pm when I was randomly kicked out and was asked to Sign In again. My external Roku devices work fine. I've tried deleting the app, reinstalling the app, resetting my internet connection, and a master reset. Nothing works. The issue is definitely specific to Xfinity and not Roku because all other apps work as normal.

Xfinity I also have this same issue! For the love of all things good just give us the ability to login with our username and password since the web authorization isn't working! We are paying so much money for service that is so subpar!

I am having the exact same issue as well, everything working perfectly with Roku and TV except the xfinity streaming app. Problem has not been fixed yet. For now, xfinity rep saying they will have advanced tech team to look further into the issue, but I am not sure if they can get this fixed or not with the replies I see here.

Here is what I tried:

1. Request of resetting tv signal, reseting modem signal

2. Restart & reset modem, roku etc

3. Uninstall & reinstall xfinity steam app

4. Add new user to my account and try authorising with the new user account

Tech team suggested what I already tried. Technician even came and check, but they say it is software issue that they cannot work on. The store keeps blaming Roku issue.

I also contacted Roku just to make sure, they suggested some of the methods above. After all those failed, Roku explained they are an OS, if there is an issue with the app/channel, contact the channel developer is more useful as they have no control of xfinity app in this situation.

Please fix this soon!

I just started having a problem where it does not think my Roku or Fire TV sticks are connected to my local network.  So the Xfinity App does not work on Roku at all (Error 101) and on the Fire stick it shows only channels that are included with TV to GO.

This may have started when I had Comcast send me a new 4K UD box - not sure.  I can reconnect the old box but have not done that yet.  What a pain.

Since Comcast/Xfinity cannot seem to support their product, I will request that they cancel my service without any early out penalty as they have failed to perform.
