Xfinity Stream on Sony TV with Google TV

Is there any timeline on when I can expect the Xfinity Stream app to be supported on Google TV?   I just bought a new Sony Bravia TV with Google TV and I would like to be able to watch Xfinity content natively.  I can cast the app from my phone to the TV, but it isn't nearly as convenient to use that way.

All the previous threads on this topic are over a year old.

Hello! Thank you for reaching out to us! I'm happy to look into this for you! Have you attempted to download the Xfinity Stream app on your new TV?

@XfinityCrystal​ Yes, I have tried.  It is not listed when I search for the app through the TV's Google play store.  If I search for it through in a general browser session on my laptop, it shows the TV as an incompatible device.  

I tried side loading the app, but the app also says the device is not compatible when starting.

When will the Xfinity Stream app be available for download on a Google Tv?

That is a GREAT question, LOL, that I had to look into. Google TV is similar to our Flex TV. It contains apps all in one place and although it is a new way to stream, I do not have any ETA's at this time when our Xfinity Stream app will be available on it. Please do keep in mind to, that you will need a subscription to utilize the shows on the app.

Google TV is not a device.  Google TV is the new name for Android TV operating system.  The hardware device known as Chromecast runs the Google TV operating system, but so do many TVs.  This is similar to Roku - there are standalone devices and TVs with Roku built in. 

I am sure there are some differences, but Google TV OS is similar to Android for phones, and the Stream app has been running there for some time.
