Xfinity Stream on Roku stopped working TVAPP-00101

I have been using the Xfinity stream app on my Roku device for years without a problem.   When I tried using it today, it says "This device can only access Xfinity Stream on your in-home Xfinity WiFi."   Error TVAPP-00101.

I've confirmed that the Roku box is using my home WiFi connection.   I've rebooted the Roku, logged out of the Xfinity Stream App and logged back in, removed the Xfinity Stream App and added it back to the Roku, and rebooted my modem.   None of these steps fixed the issue.   

Streaming does work from my PC on the same WiFi network.    

When I called the Xfinity support phone number, there was an automated message that there had recently been "upgrades" in my area and I should reboot the modem if I'm having problems.   I also spoke to a representative that said my modem is provisioned correctly.   I did see in some other articles online that an incorrectly provisioned modem can cause this problem.   Can that be double-checked somehow?

The Roku is the primary way I watch Xfinity streaming, so it's obviously frustrating to have it suddenly stop working.  

Thank you for your help.

I am experiencing the same issue.  Roku worked fine, now not working after new modem install but everything is up and running.  I get the error trying to connect to xfinity stream only.

Same issue.  Enter code and tells me is is successful, then an error message saying i need a TV account, which Xfinity has confirmed multiple times.  Streaming on my PC right now. Evidenty Xfinity has NO clue as to what is causing this.

Was told it would be fixed in a couple of hours and 2 weeks later still fighting the same issue.

This issue just occurred for me again today.  As of now it's not resolved.

To provide some additional background, the issue continued to happen approximately once a month for me.   Xfinity raised an engineering ticket at the end of August after the issue occurred for the 6th time   They scheduled some maintenance in September to "enhance the network in my area".  After that work was done,  I was hopeful that it had fixed the issue, but it clearly has not.

Since I originally reported issue with the Xfinity Stream App on my Roku, I've also found that I can not stream "in-home" only stations from xfinity.com/stream website on my computer when the problem occurs.   For example, if I try to watch FOX, it says "Please connect to your home WiFi network.  Due to licensing agreements, some content can only be viewed on your home WiFi.  TVAPP-00101"

Just now I contact Xfinity support on the phone and I tried having the representative send a reprovisioning signal to my modem.   Unfortunately, it did not fix the problem 

Right now, "advanced support" is supposed to call back in an hour to try sending the signal again.   

It's clear from the comments on this thread that other people are having the same issue.   How can we get someone from Xfinity to find the root cause of the problem and get it resolved?   I'm happy to provide any details you need. 

It's very frustrating that I cannot access services that I'm paying for and have to go through hours of troubleshooting each time to get my services restored.

Sadly, Xfinity Support did not call back as promised.   I hope someone from your team can follow-up here.   Thank you

The xfinity stream app on my roku device initialized but then boots me out of the app automatically.  All other streaming Apps are working fine.

Same here on all Roku devices

Same thing happening to me as @Nick_Perovich above. My other apps work too, so internet connection isn't the issue. My Roku TV is connected to the Xfinity Modem. Hopefully we get something more than "send us a direct message." That kinda defeats the entire purpose of a help forum 😊

I’m having the same issues.  Xfinity support told me Roku was doing maintenance that should be done at 11:45pm but all my other Roku apps are working fine so that’s not the problem.  Tried all the restarts on modem, app and Roku and the stream starts and then kicks me back to home immediately.  I was told by my support person I would receive a $10 credit but that’s not enough if this isn’t resolved soon.

@user_dqhe5s​  I have the same exact problem. Stream starts click on live tv — then immediately back to home. Very frustrating.

Same thing happened to me just now as @Nick_Perovich above. The Roku device initializes but then boots me out. This happened at the same time for both TVs with Rokus using the Xfinity Stream app.  But I can watch the Xfinity Stream app from the iPad. We have tried rebooting the modem and the Roku. The Roku firmware is up to date. Is there a solution yet?

On 10/31/23 xfinity sent me a message that there was an outage in my area. We tried watching Xfinity Stream on the Roku app last night and it would glitch in and out. But tonight I read on the screen that there was going to be an update to Roku. Since that update, my Xfinity stream app goes to the start page and then automatically kicks me back to the homepage on Roku. I uninstalled the app reinstalled the app and nothing. Then, I uninstalled the app restarted the Roku, and install the app again, and no fix!!  It is so frustrating for this to happen especially when you’re watching something on the TV that you really want to see. I don’t need 5 million channels that Xfinity offers with their cable packages which mostly have QVC shows and reruns and is not worth $150 that I’m gonna pay a month. So the $10 that I’ve been paying on my Wi-Fi for God knows how long  but it’s been many years, which I didn’t even use it because I didn’t know it existed. And now it’s not working! Can’t be Roku because all my other apps work come on Xfinity let’s figure this out this is what you do!

I agree.  So frustrating.  It’s not Roku because everything else is working.

I’m having a similar issue that it seems most are having. Whenever I try accessing the app on Roku it boots me out. I’ve tried everything and nothing seems to work

Mine is doing the same thing how do we fix this

Same issue here. I just googled Xfinity stream not working on Roku and this article was my first hit. Just started a little bit ago, but we can get on to Stream fine from a laptop. It’s a xfinity Stream app issue on the Roku for sure.

I am having the exact same problem.  Click on Xfinity stream on Roku and am immediately booted back to home screen.  Sure would like it fixed!

Exact same with me. Tried uninstalling  and reinstalling Xfinity app, all goes OK,  click on it and it just bounces me off back to main screen. This is quite obviously an issue with Xfinity! Wouldn’t you know I just signed a new contract! What a DOPE! When are they going to do something about this??

Same issue for me. Tried all the normal fixes - reboots, disconnect/reconnect account, reloaded Stream app, etc. as others mentioned above. All other apps work so not a Roku issue. Please post a fix!

I seem to be having the same issue with my xfinity stream app on my Roku. Go to get into app then goes right off back to Home Screen. Right now I have to stream it from my tablet to my Roku device to watch it on my tv. I have unplugged my Roku device to reboot it but still cannot get into it.

I am experiencing the same issue, getting bounced back to the home page, yet I can stream on 3 other non-Roku devices.

Same issue on all Roku devices.  Other streaming services are fine.  Tried all troubleshooting tips and nothing is working.
