Xfinity Stream- Out of home

Why are so many channels not available when using the Xfinity Stream app away from home? 

Other streaming services, like DirecTV and YouTube TV, have all the subscribed channels available no matter where you are, at home or away. 

The excuse given in the Xfinity Stream app is that it’s a contractual issue. How is it that all the other streaming services can figure this out but not Xfinity?

1776444, 

Thank you for reaching out and creating a new post. Whether the programming is available in-home versus out of the home depends on the rights negotiated with each network. We always work to expand our options, but the current out-of-home options can vary, as you've seen.

Absolutely @1776444! 😀 While we don’t have visibility into or control over the individual programming agreements that determine those permissions, we can make sure your feedback about the current Xfinity Stream experience is documented and shared appropriately.
