The same thing happened on my brand new Samsung smart TV this morning.

I returned my X1 set top box because I didn't need it anymore with the Xfinity Stream app -- before this morning's update anyway.

I can see all my favorites just fine on the Xfinity Stream website and the Xfinity Stream app for Android. Doesn't do TV watching any good, what with over 3K channels!

Why doesn't the information about favorites that Xfinity already has appear on the new Xfinity Stream app for smart TVs???

Please do not suggest a work-around!

Help!  Same thing happened to us and we heavily use the Favorites channels.  Also, can’t find the Smart Resolve setting that allows you to skip commercials.  Not liking the new app updates at all.  Can we switch back to the prior app version?

user_hzi95u Thanks for reaching out! The Xfinity Stream app has a new look on Samsung Smart TVs, and the Favorites channel filter isn't available in the current Samsung TV interface. Unfortunately, we don't have any indication if it will be added back in to future releases.

I just got an e mail about the new Xfinity Stream App coming soon.

I am waiting for it for FireTV and Moble devices and hopefully finally coming to the Google Play Store so I can use it on Onn4K Plus and Shield TV too! 

And was looking forward to it.

But why in the world would Xfinity developers think it is a good idea to remove the option to only view your Favorite channels??????????????

That's just a very bad design choice!!!!!!!!

I mean who wants to have to scroll though every single channel in the Live Guide?????????

In fact there should be at least 4 options "All, Favorite channels, Free to me and HD Only".

Just like the X1 DVR boxes have.

A few Quick questions for Xfinity in the new App update was the Live Guide also updated with an improved design or is it just the main home screen?

And is the Mini guide still available as well and were all the bugs fixed with it like the mini guide not highlighting the current channel when opening?

Also while watching TV can you now click up or down to go to the next channel for "Channel Surfing"

Almost all apps for TV watching have option to click up or down with your remote to go to the next channel "Channel Surfing".

Thanks

The awful Xfinity TV app update that everyone's complaining about seems to affect only smart TVs. It may not affect other devices. You can only try it and see.

@XfinityMartyR​ This is absolutely AWFUL! We have to scroll through HUNDREDS of SD channels just to find what we are looking for and PAY a lot of money for. Favorites MUST be added into a future update and soon for all Samsung TV customers. Many unhappy paying customers willing to cancel for better service and prices.

And if you want to access your recorded items, you can't get to a list of them.  The new app is terrible.
