Apple TV StreamSaver subscription activation problem.

I have been unable to activate Apple TV. At xfinity.com/yoursubscriptions when I go to activate Apple TV it gives me an error message saying "Something unexpected happened. Please close this pop up and try again. If the problem persists, try again later." I have tried for several days still getting this same message.

A prior email gave me a different website to activate, which initially said it was activated but only took me to the apple tv website to sign up for a free trial.

I am hoping for some kind of assistance to get this resolved.

That site says that my apple TV subscription is already active and to continue to Apple TV, but when I do it is asking if I want to start my free trial.

Thanks for letting us know you're experiencing something similar user_1lvhzu! As my colleague suggested, have you already tried visiting xfinity.com/yoursubscriptions and logging in to see if your Apple TV subscription appears?

Having the same issue, when I go to the Xfinity site and try and activate the Apple TV, I get the error code something unexpected happen and please try again later. This has been going on for 10 days. Contacting Xfinity, he tried to send me to  Apple to work with them.

Thanks for your comment, user_f20w2x. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing a similar issue. When you say the Xfinity Site, are you referring to our subscription page? Have you tried multiple browsers or clearing the cache and cookies?

I have the same problem. I had an expired Apple TV account. I signed up for the Stream Saver bundle. Both Netflix and Peacock activated properly. Apple TV will not activate. In the "yoursubscriptions" page, it lists Apple TV, but the status shows as blank and there is no button to active or visit the account (Ex. Visit Netflix button). When I log into the Apple TV App using the same email account that Xfinity is connected to, all I get is the offer to start a free trial / pay $12.99 / month. I have called and chatted with a few Xfinity support people. They send links to try to activate it, but it doesn't work. I cannot seem to connect the Apple TV to the Xfinity bundle, and neither can the Xfinity support people (after many hours on the phone and chat sessions), even though they repeatedly tell me they can fix it no problem. You would think the Xfinity support team would be able to tell whether it was activated or not and how to go about resolving it if not.

Update: The Activate button just showed up on my xfinity.com/yoursubscriptions, and going through the activations, it is working now. Thank you to whoever updated the account (or maybe I needed to wait?).

I moved.  Instead of simply moving over all of my current account details, including StreamSaver (@$15.99/mo), it is an obvious ploy to have your customer be forced to re-order at a now higher price instead of honoring the current level when someone is moving and taking your service with them.  Not right.  Now, I can't even get AppleTV to come on, even though in my account it states it is ACTIVATED.  Same as other posters here, it wants me to start a free trial or "log in", which I'm not having to do with Peacock or Netflix...they simply worked once activated.  Been a week now and since this is an obvious ongoing problem based on this conversation, why isn't this handshake issue between Xfinity & Apple being addressed by your I.T. department?
